The coalition suffered another defeat: "Yoaz Hendel and Yvette Lieberman were humiliated today""

June 15, 2022   

Another shameful defeat for the coalition: The Knesset plenum discussed this evening (Wednesday) the cancellation of some of the orders decided upon as part of the agricultural reform that relate to honey and eggs. These are the changes to the intercity public transportation routes in Jerusalem • All the details The coalition lost the vote on the agricultural orders, and the orders were defeated by a majority of 47 voters and 46 supporters. However, since the government surrendered and a new agreement was reached with the farmers this evening, this is only a moral victory. However, today's votes proved: the coalition is unable to pass a law without the opposition supporting it. Agriculture Minister Oded Forer and Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman are expected to soon announce the agreements they reached with the farmers. United Torah Judaism Chairman MK Moshe Gafni commented tonight on the coalition's series of defeats throughout the day: "An interesting day in the Knesset. Matan Kahane showed his face, spoke about strengthening the courts and asked to vote against the law that strengthens them. "The process of canceling the reform and the arrogance of Yoaz Hendel has begun. The Knesset threw him down all the stairs with an impressive majority. And in the end, we helped the farmers and saved them from the evil jaws of Yvette Lieberman, who is constantly trying to harm them. "As we said, they have no divine support and we see it all the time." MK Uri Maklev responded: "Two ministers were humiliated - Yoaz Hendel was humiliated today and Avigdor Lieberman was humiliated today. "Despite his arrogance, the Minister of Agriculture came out of his shell, the farmers managed to bend him and humiliate him. As much as the Ministers of Finance and Agriculture stood and talked about 'reform,' they accepted all the farmers' demands today. "The overturning of the order is a clear statement that Lieberman has failed again in leading moves in the coalition. Let's hope that the next surrender will be to Michael Biton on the public transportation reform.".
