MK David Bitan attempted to dismiss MK Betzalel Smotrich(Jewish Home) from the Finance Committee after Smotrich opposed the government's latest steps against the JNF.
Bitan sent a letter to Jewish Home faction leader Shuli Mualem-Rafaeli demanding to replace Smotrich with another MK due to his refusal to vote on a matter agreed by the coalition.
Mualem-Rafaeli refused to agree to such a move, stating that her party had the right to decide whom it sends to various committees and what proposals it supports.
