MK Moshe Sa'ada (Likud) sharply criticized MK Sharan Haskel on Thursday over the timing and manner of her resignation from the Foreign Ministry, calling her resignation letter a 'sad joke.' Sa'ada asked why Haskel waited until the last moment to resign, accusing her of being manipulative.
Thursday morning, MK Moshe Sa'ada (Likud) launched a pointed attack on MK Sharan Haskel over her resignation from the Foreign Ministry earlier this week. In a statement carried by Israeli media, Sa'ada called Haskel's resignation letter a 'sad joke,' questioned why she waited until the last moment to step down, and accused her of being manipulative. Haskel resigned on Wednesday, accusing Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar of lying to her and to the public, as The Zioneer reported. The attack by Sa'ada, a fellow coalition member, underscores the political fallout and internal divisions the resignation has generated within the right-wing camp. Haskel has not publicly responded to Sa'ada's remarks as of Thursday morning.
