“She talks about a difficult period, I’m going through a terrible period. No one is funding me, no one wants to hire me. My children are suffering in school,” he reports.
“I believe I’m being made an example of,” he adds. “Today, a weight has been lifted off my chest.”
The ex-caretaker also says that despite the litigation, he continues to support the Likud party.
“I vote for Likud, my parents vote for Likud,” he states.
