Newly-appointed Shas party MK, Yigal Guetta lashed out against MK Moshe Gafne. Guetta, who was a Shas Bnei Brak Councilman before entering Knesset, was expected to be “colorful” and supply headlines and he did not waste time doing just that.

He launched his Knesset career attacking the veteran MK and the chareidim. He spoke how Gafne recently criticized Deri and his constant winning about how the prime minister took credit for his initiatives, lashing back at Gafne.

Gafne, who is reportedly among Deri’s inner circle, wrote to Facebook “My dear esteemed friend Moshe Gafne! I am very sorry but at the end of the day, you are the biggest one who runs after the credit due others. So much so that during Shabbos Ichud Hatzalah, rather than praise the organization and the devotion of volunteers, you spoke in praise of yourself.

“In line with the holy words of Maran Rav Shach ZT”L, at present you have at least ten additional years of service to reach 40 years of not doing what Deri has done. Within a month, Deri has distributed NIS 1 billion to the poor and even if you buy Adidas sport shoes and run after him with all of your might you will never catch up to Aryeh Deri despite all of your media and PR people.

“Once again we are counting forty years, for a second time. In conclusion, aspire to [become like] Aryeh Deri], who carried out the Norwegian Law, what is going on in your camp, apparently afraid to see who receives the credit. Have a great race!”

At the end of the post Guetta explains his post is delayed because he was busy with kabolas khal.
