He says the bill, up for its final votes later today, has turned the Knesset into an “embarrassing circus of corruption.”

“They’re good at being corrupt,” he says of the coalition, noting the government’s “efficiency” in passing the legislation.

“Suddenly, they’re effective,” he says of coalition lawmakers at the weekly Yesh Atid faction meeting. He accuses the government of being self-serving and focused solely on protecting itself.
