The Knesset Finance Committee erupted in a shouting match Monday morning over funding for daycare for yeshiva students who do not serve in the IDF. Committee Chair MK Moshe Gafni entered the room and called the committee's legal advisor an 'anti-Semite', prompting opposition lawmakers to shout back at him, according to Israeli media. Separately, in the Knesset Committee, Shas MKs attacked the Attorney General calling her 'deranged' and saying she 'persecutes the world of Torah', after which the Attorney General left the room.
