Several recent statements by Culture Minister Regev which have made headlines hit home, as the Likud faction meeting ends in an unusual argument between Regev and Likud colleague Minister of Gender Equality Gila Gamliel.

After Prime Minister Netanyahu referred to the speech by Oded Kotler at the opening of the meeting, Gamliel attacked Regev for her statements. According to Ynet, Regev tells Gamliel: “OK, we heard you. You deal with your ministry and I’ll deal with mine. You don’t know the details.”

Gamliel then replies: “Don’t threaten me,” later calling out to Regev: “You’re a populist!”
