"For the past 24 hours, a campaign has been underway to put Yamina at the head of the country's State Audit Committee," said Knesset Member Mickey Zohar in an attempt to explain his party's conduct.
"They ask me why the committee is given to Yesh Atid rather than Yamina? And my answer: Since the establishment of the Knesset, the coalition hasn't been involved in division of committees within the opposition - when it has always divided the committees among itself.
"At the end of the day what is decisive is that we gave our word, there was an agreement, we shook hands and made progress. It's very important to me that when a Knesset Member gives his word in this house his word will be honored. It's time for the politicians in this building to stand by their word. "
