Finance Committee Chairman MK Hanoch Milivitsky (Likud) reprimanded a government ministry representative during a committee session Tuesday morning, after she sought to correct or clarify data presented in the discussion, according to Israel Hayom. The incident adds to a series of tense exchanges in Knesset committees this year, as lawmakers assert oversight over government spending and policy implementation. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar confrontations, including a June 8 incident in which a Prime Minister's Office representative broke down in tears after a reprimand by Milivitsky, and a June 9 shouting match in the Finance Committee over funding for yeshiva students' daycare. The specific ministry involved and the subject of the data dispute were not immediately detailed.
