MK Michael Ben-Ari of the National Union party slammed Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin for his decision to upgrade MK’s flights.

"Rivlin's wasteful conduct harms the reputation of the Knesset and this a time when we need to tighten our belts and lead the public by example. We can not ask the public to cut back and at the same time behave ostentatiously,” said Ben-Ari.
