Michaeli tears into Liberman for sexist remark about Ukrainian women

Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli tears into Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman for the sexist remark he made about Ukrainian women during this evening’s cabinet meeting.

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.

“There are some things that are not a joke. The finance minister asked to delete from the minutes of the meeting his outrageous statement about Ukrainian women. I hope this is the last time such things are said about women, who have always paid the price of war that men decided on,” tweets Michaeli.
