MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) responded to the threats of Haredi MKs not to cooperate with Yisrael Beiteinu in the future.
"Litzman and Gafni - we do not work for you, we work for millions of citizens and taxpayers, most of them serve in the IDF or do national service, for which we are obligated to report," said Furer. "The boycott threats by the haredi factions on Yisrael Beiteinu are reminiscent of methods from other places, and unfortunately there are factories in Israel that suffer from similar threats. In contrast to the haredi factions, as far as we are concerned there is no boycott, we have no problem sitting with them in the government, provided that the balance is maintained - the principle of live and let live and the understanding that the IDF, and its soldiers, is an important institution in the State of Israel."
