Former Shas MK Yigal Guetta addressed for the first time his resignation from the Knesset, which he claimed was the result of a controversy engineered by his political rivals.

Guetta was forced to resign from the Knesset in September after he revealed that he had attended a same-sex wedding for his cousin several years ago. "The whole family went [to the wedding], my wife and I and the kids, who I don’t usually tell which events to go to. But for this, I said that showing up is mandatory. We all went so we could make him very happy," Guetta had told Army Radio host Razi Barkai.
