Likud's Miki Zohar says he's softening his tone

Likud MK Miki Zohar, the coalition whip known for his wildly inflammatory statements, tells party lawmakers he’ll be softening his tone from now on.

“When we cross red lines with things we say against our rivals, I think the public doesn’t like it, certainly at this time,” he says at a Likud faction meeting, referring to the pandemic.

“I, along with everyone else, will personally change this discourse because I think this is a discourse that will speak more to the public,” he says. “It’s not easy for me to come here and admit in front of everyone that I did things that shouldn’t have been done.”
