In tweet, Smotrich signals he views Peretz’s decision as betrayal

Yamina’s Bezalel Smotrich tweets a picture of a Mitsubishi car key in response to Rafi Peretz’s decision to break away from the party.

He is apparently referring to the so-called “Mitsubishi Deal,” under which former Likud MK Alex Goldfarb supported the Oslo Accords in return for a deputy minister position which came with a Mitsubishi car.

Right-wingers have since used the brand as a symbol of political betrayal for personal benefit.
