Israeli Minister Chaim Katz Caught on Tape Cursing Husband of Fellow Minister
Minister of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services Chaim Katz of the Likud party was recorded on video verbally abusing the husband of Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Gila Gamliel. The incident occurred during a discussion regarding a petition filed by Gamliel against the final results of the Likud party's primary elections.
Katz directed a vulgar curse at attorney Hovav Damari, Gamliel's husband, after Damari and Gamliel accused Katz of "stealing the election" during a recount of ballots in the city of Be'er Yaakov. The recording captures Katz saying, "Go f*** yourself" to Damari.
The confrontation took place amidst ongoing disputes within the Likud party concerning the primary election results, particularly in Be'er Yaakov, where allegations of irregularities have surfaced. Gamliel and Damari's accusations of election fraud against Katz have intensified the internal party friction.
