Likud MK Miri Regev, who is also a former Transportation Minister, on Saturday night told Channel 12 News that the light rail train "will not operate on Shabbat."
Outgoing Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli (Labor) promised last month that the light rail train in Tel Aviv, which is currently under construction, would operate on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Jewish law does not permit transportation on Shabbat, other than in the case of a life-threatening emergency.
When told by her interviewer that she would be the "responsible adult" in the coalition, Regev responded, "You can't stand that [MK Benjamin] Netanyahu won. You are all sour in the party of studios that sat, engineered consciousness for months, and the public is smart and made its statements. The responsible adult is Netanyahu, who you eulogized."
Responding to the statement that she is the symbol of the left in the new government, she said, "I am not a left-wing symbol, I was never a left-wing symbol, Netanyahu is not a left-wing symbol."
