MK German (Yesh Atid) used her Knesset podium time for one of her favorite pastimes, to attack Health Minister Yaakov Litzman. Litzman and German are one another’s political nemesis to put it mildly as German, a former Herzliya mayor, continues to champion her ultra-secular agenda.

In this video, German cynically lauds Litzman’s popularity and accomplishments, calling him “Popeye”. German, who is seen by many as a failure in the same post, Health Minister, in the previous administration; does not miss an opportunity to mimic and taunt Litzman.

In this latest occurrence she responds to harsh criticism from Litzman who regularly speaks out against Yesh Atid, in this case for failing to pass legislation encouraging organ donations when the party was in government in the last coalition.

German sarcastically mimics his accomplishments while accusing him of addressing her and her party colleagues in a condescending and disrespectful tone.
