Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman reportedly made a sexist crack about Ukrainian women at today’s cabinet meeting on the government’s refugee policy.
According to leaked transcripts of the meeting, Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked noted that many mayors across the country are volunteering to take in Ukrainian refugees.
“Some of them only want Ukrainian women,” Liberman joked in response.
Nobody called out the minister for the sexist comment and several colleagues even laughed at the crack.
After it was leaked though, Liberman asked that it be wiped from the official minutes of the meeting.
