A credit battle over the Finance Committee’s debate over the one-time taxation led to a heated confrontation in the committee between Chairman Kushnir and MK Asher. Finally, Kushnir threw Asher out of the committee: “Chicken out” | Watch
The Finance Committee convened this morning (Monday) to discuss the ‘one-time ruling’, but a fight over credit between the committee’s chairman Alex Kushnir and MK Yaakov Asher led to a heated confrontation in the committee.
Already yesterday, the chairman of the Finance Committee, Kushnir, tweeted that “MK Asher has decided to come out with a ‘one-time’ political gain based on inaccuracies in the facts. The committee. “Jacob, the tax on the lies may be more expensive.”
In practice, we will mention that Knesset Spokeswoman Sagit Afik issued a preliminary letter for the hearing in which she commented that the hearing did not take place before the order began to operate, so that Kushnir’s claim is incorrect.
In this morning’s debate, MK Yaakov Asher remarked to Kushnir’s chairman: “I know it is difficult. “What you have already seen and we will lower the level of taxation.”
Finally, Yaakov Asher stung, and asked Kushnir to act independently against the opinion of the Minister of Finance. “Gafni knew not to surrender to the government,” Asher said, “to be independent, to be a man,” he told Kushnir.
MK Kushnir did not like the words and hurried to call Yaakov Asher to order: “I will not address your offensive statements. The last campaign you hit me personally. You will not teach me what independence is and I am not going to consult every day with who you are going to consult (great men of Israel) “The fact that you went and made this discussion a political fortune of a whole round, so to speak, made me do this discussion because of you.”
The chairman threw Asher out of the discussion, “The next time you preach independence to me you will find yourself outside,” he said to confirm. .
