Party leader defends MK accused of sexism against minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid leader Yair Lapid is defending party MK Elazar Stern from charges of sexism over claims his comments directed at Minister Miri Regev were meant to imply she slept her way to a high IDF position.
Lapid says he believes Stern’s defense that he only meant Regev had been promoted by being overly obsequious to her superiors.
Lapid says anyone who thinks Stern was being sexist “simply doesn’t know him.”
“The low-brow dialogue that Miri Regev is pushing would not be found at all in Stern’s value system,” he says.
