Education Minister Rabbi Rafi Peretz responded to the article by former Labor politician and education minister Yuli Tamir in Haaretz in which she denounced him and said: "I see the Education Minister and want to die."
"When former Education Minister Yuli Tamir personally denounces me despite the fact that we never met each other, it's disappointing and attests to the political situation in Israel," Peretz said. "And this already crosses every possible boundary."
