Transportation Minister Miri Regev complained about anti-government protesters who rally outside her house early in the morning, the Kan public broadcaster reports, using a vulgarity that can be roughly translated as “fuck the protesters.”

“They protest outside my house from 6 a.m.” she tells Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi at a faction meeting of the Likud party. “Fuck the protesters.”

“Enough Miri, everything is being recorded,” unnamed ministers reportedly say to Regev.

“I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that we made it through the ceremonies,” Regev reportedly responds.

Yesterday, Israel held a second national day of mourning for October 7 and the subsequent war, with ceremonies organized by Regev. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to honor the civilians killed was interrupted by hecklers.

Several Gaza border communities have accused the government of using the official ceremonies on October 7 and yesterday to avoid responsibility for the role it played in failing to prevent Hamas terror assault, and for failing the communities in the aftermath of the massacre.

Many of them announced that they would not participate in Regev’s ceremonies. She dismissed the criticism as “noise.”
