With the opening of the Knesset's summer session, presidential candidate Fuad Ben-Eliezer and MK Meir Porush met for a corridor conversation at the Mishkan.
The two exchanged greetings and Fuad talked about his kidney problems. "Bibi offered me a kidney," he laughed. Fuad, as he himself said in an interview, is about to undergo a kidney transplant in the coming days, which his son will donate to him.
""Don't take it, my dear," Porosh replied, doubting with a smile, doubting seriously.

""Bibi's kidneys are poisoned," Labor MK Mickey Rosenthal joined the conversation.
The three parted ways with smiles, hoping that the transplant surgery would go smoothly.
The presidential elections, by the way, are not at all certain to go smoothly. Some are criticizing them severely - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is trying to postpone them by six months. Officially, in order to try and change the Basic Law and redesign the institution of the presidency. But evil tongues whisper that irrelevant considerations are behind the initiative - an attempt to torpedo the election of Reuven Rivlin, a Likud MK, whom Bibi does not really want to criticize. Some are going so far as to point to the Prime Minister's wife as the one behind the move.
