Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded on Tuesday evening to statements made by MK Oren Hazan about MK Karin Elharar (Yesh Atid) and said, “Today in the Knesset, something severe took place. I have been asked to look into the details of the event and determine whether they indeed took place. An MK from my faction said something unacceptable to MK Karin Elharar. Something that should not have been said, and I wholeheartedly condemn it.”

“I called that MK and chastised him. I told him that this cannot happen again,” Netanyahu said.
