He mentioned that the issue was raised by three-member Meretz faction in the Knesset for several years.
â€œThis is a marginal faction, actually it does not represent anyone, it has no influence in the Knesset. They know very well that this issue causes interests in media. This is the only opportunity for Haim Oron to mention his political existence. There is no opportunity to adopt any resolution. One can only exchange views on how many persons will attend the hearings,â€ he said.
Yosef Shagal said the issue was raised when he was member of the Knesset and only eight attended the similar hearings. He supposes that two - Haim Oron and the person chairing the meeting will attend the hearings this time.

â€œThis issue does not raise interest and is of speculative character. Such issues are raised so that they can cause some discussions in press. I consider that this issue should not be taken seriously. By covering it, creating agiotage, we favor those who are interested in fanning the fame for completely populist purposes,â€ he said.
