Opposition MK Naor Shiri Praises Rival Moshe Gafni's Parliamentary Skills

Naor Shiri, a secular member of the Knesset from the opposition, stated in a Channel 13 interview that he holds deep respect for the parliamentary abilities of Moshe Gafni, despite significant ideological differences. Shiri acknowledged learning a great deal from Gafni about Knesset operations, passing legislation, and identifying political maneuvers during his tenure.

While commending the diligence of ultra-Orthodox Knesset members, Shiri criticized the lack of proper recognition for Gafni after his 38 years of service in the Knesset. Shiri described his own departure from the Knesset as more graceful than Gafni's, implying a contrast in how their respective exits were handled or perceived. The interview highlighted Shiri's complex relationship with Gafni, marked by both political opposition and professional admiration.
