MK: Yishai paid the price for the Carmel disaster • Azoulay: We are not sorry

December 21, 2022   

During a discussion held today (Wednesday) in the committee on the 'Police Ordinance Law,' MK Meirav Ben-Ari of Mish Atid said: "I gave the Carmel disaster case as a clear case in which Prime Minister Netanyahu intervened with the famous supertanker. What did Netanyahu actually do, even though it was on his watch? He came, moved Eli Yishai away from the incident, told him not to interfere, I'm solving the Carmel disaster, and so something that a prime minister could have paid was not paid... "The one who paid the price, Yinon, is the minister from the Shas party, Eli Yishai," said Merav Ben-Ari. Yinon Azoulay of Shas replied to her: "We don't regret it, just so you know" - and chuckled. MK Yulia Malinovsky: "What you just said is not Jewish." Ben Ari continued: "It's certain, that's why I told you... What did he actually do? He said, as soon as such a disaster happened, civilian, military in Tiflis, the one who paid the price was the minister. Therefore, I know that he is listening to us somehow, this is a bad example that only shows how much of a minister the designated person is, what price he will pay.".
