MK Yohanan Plesner (Kadima) – the head of the committee charged with setting the parameters of a new law to draft haredim that was abruptly disbanded by Prime Minister Netanyahu (Likud)just as it was about to release its findings – says that Netanyahu is a dishonest person who intentionally deceived Israelis and his coalition partners, and who chose haredim over the national interest, Ynet reported.
Netanyahu formed a new committee with Plesner as its co-head and a Likud Party loyalist as its co-leader, but disregarded its findings, as well, prompting the Kadima Party to withdraw from Netanyahu’s ruling coalition in disgust.
"Netanyahu's true colors have been exposed,” Plesner told Ynet in an interview published today. "We revealed his true preferences. [Netanyahu] always favored the haredim even at the price of mortgaging our national interest and joint future…when his back was pushed against the wall, Netanyahu chose the haredim and not the State of Israel,” Plesner reportedly said.
“Netanyahu is a skilled communicator; he knows how to spin things around and throws sand in the eyes of the public. He creates an atmosphere of confusion and uncertainty in order to instill disorder. We need to put everything back in order so that we can understand why he always surrenders to [haredim].…Israel cannot afford to see Netanyahu [have] another term in office. One was enough. Another one could be disastrous for Israel's economy," Plesner said.
