Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu once again admonished party members, in what is basically a weekly ritual, as he stressed the sending of SMS text messages during party meetings is unacceptable, assuming some of the messages are releasing information that should remain within the family.

Two weeks ago he had it out with Miri Regev, and on Monday, it was Silvan Shalom’s turn. He accused party members of sending text messages as the meeting takes place, asking that at the very least “be polite and send the messages after the meeting”. He accuses his own party colleagues of leaking information to the media.

Minister Shalom did not silently accept the public criticism but responded, “Bibi, if I have something to say I will say it. Don’t tell me what to say and do”, Yediot reports.
