Lapid "threatened" Gafni: "I will reveal there is cooperation between us"

Smiles in between struggles: Haredi MKs struggles with Finance Minister Yair Lapid continue to produce exchanges at the Knesset and various committees. This morning (Wednesday), during a hearing held by the Finance Committee, the Finance Minister Yair Lapid said to MK Moshe Gafni: "We have a lot of things we agree on them. I already told you that if you continue to annoy me, I'll reveal that we have collaborations behind the scenes."

Gafni said in response: "Renounce. He is lying again ..."

Finance Committee convened as part of the formal procedure for approval of two-year state budget, instead of a year.

At the beginning of the discussion Lapid said that in years to come he will stop the approval of the budget for two years: "There is a big gap between planning and implementation. I discovered the previous budget does not really control spending and you cannot predict the revenue. In a world of uncertainty it is impossible to plan the long-term. Therefore we want to cancel the dialog budget - in year 2015, but now we need the temporary agency that regulates a two - year ".

Arrival of the finance minister to the discussion has allowed members of the Knesset to refer to the minister and ask him questions and request answers from him. According to the procedure, during a committee meeting the responsible minister is committed to answer any questions asked of him, in contrast to the plenary discussion.

At some point Committee chairman MK Nissan Slomiansky protected the Finance Minister and said, "If you interrupt again, the next time we get answers on Facebook."
