I don't determine for them whether or not they can meet with Abu Mazen - they shouldn't determine for me where there should be a building freeze in Judea and Samaria.

I want to send a message to Minister Elkin. There are primaries and the Likudniks here will not forgive you if you will simply be a rubber stamp for Aryeh Deri. This is how it seems to be that for the moment you are Deri's rubber stamp.

  -- Mayor of Tiberias Ron Kubi, after his disciplinary hearing. Minister Zeev Elkin was appointed to be the minister in charge of deciding what to do with Kubi, after Kubi has failed to pass a budget in Tiberias after numerous attempts, and Aryeh Deri was disqualified by the courts from dealing with the situation for conflict of interest. So now Kubi is threatening Elkin

After denials for many months, the plan of Deri and Lieberman to try to take control of Jerusalem has been exposed by running Moshe Leon again as a candidate - a candidate who receives single digits in all the polls of the residents.

  -- Minister Zeev Elkin, candidate for mayor of Jerusalem, after Rav Shalom Cohen, spiritual leader of Shas, came to a deal to support Leon for mayor after initially expressing support for Yossi Deutsch.

Doesn't every candidate, and the party running and supporting that candidate, in every city with mayoral elections, plan to "take control of" the respective city? I am not sure what is different, or bad, by Deri and Lieberman having a plan to "take control of Jerusalem" by running a candidate they prefer..
