Likud bulldog vows ‘disciplinary measures’ against Shasha-Biton; stops short of calling for her axing

Likud coalition whip Miki Zohar says he just finished a conversation with Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, during which he decided to take “disciplinary measures” against Coronavirus Committee chairwoman Yifat Shasha-Biton, after she voted to reverse the government’s decision to shutter gyms and pools.

For the time being, legislative proposals will not be put before Shasha-Biton’s committee for debate, Zohar says. It is not clear what authority the Likud whip has to strip the panel of its authority.

However, Zohar notably has dropped any mention of removing Shasha-Biton from her post.
