Quote of the Day

To all the voices out there today, voices screaming that they sold the State to the Haredim: take [a look at] the coalition agreements.. we could have received double that had we recommended a government led by Yitzchak Herzog.

  -- Minister of Economics Aryeh Deri

Deri said this after defending the recent moves his party made to reverse government decisions from the past two years regarding conversion reform, kashrut law and authority over judicial appointments.

While I have no doubt they would have been offered the moon by Herzog just like they were by Netanyahu, I doubt they would have gotten double. If they would have, Deri would have signed with Herzog.
