MK Simcha Rothman, chairman of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, pushed back against criticism from opposition lawmakers during a committee session. "Your bullying the moment I open my mouth proves a thousand times over — you have no ability to accept a position that is not your own," Rothman said.
MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism), chairman of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, responded sharply to opposition criticism during a committee session on Sunday. Rothman accused opposition lawmakers of refusing to accept viewpoints other than their own, saying their conduct proved their intolerance for disagreement. The exchange took place during a discussion of the Constitution Committee, though the specific agenda item has not been detailed. The comment comes amid ongoing coalition-opposition tensions; earlier this month Rothman defended the judicial selection reform as "moderate and balanced" ahead of a potential High Court ruling, as The Zioneer reported on June 21.
