“The two things I said were not appropriate and not correct; there is no place for them in conversation, certainly not between a manager and workers in any workplace, especially not in the Justice Ministry,” he says in a column published by Haaretz.

He claims that the two incidents reported on are the only two times he has run into such trouble.

“I express deep regret over what I said, and apologize publicly to anyone I hurt with my comments,” he writes.
