A storm in the office of the Finance Committee Chairman Hanoch Milvitsky From the Likud: In unusual documentation distributed from within the MK's office, he is recorded while traveling in a car, hurling harsh complaints at the office staff.

Milvitsky suffered a defeat in the primaries and was placed in an unrealistic position. In the wake of the new situation, he was seen berating his office staff who had been 'filtering' him since the results were announced.

In the recording, Milbitsky is heard addressing in a firm tone: "Hello everyone, Happy New Year, 8:21 PM, and until now I don't know who's coming with me tomorrow. I'm glad that you all have plans, and I'm also glad that none of you find it or think it's right to answer me after so long," he said sarcastically. "Everyone has their own plans, instead of checking what's going on with you and what's going on with me.

""So now you're not even answering me, so if you don't feel like working and you don't feel obligated - that's fine. Let's all finish on September 30th, you all go home, do you want to?".

He added: "I will bring someone, if I think I need to, to be close to me and to be able to use him for the month or month and a half that I have left... Come on, please, just tell me that.".

Milvitsky expressed deep personal hurt: "I don't sit on your head, I let you do more or less what you want, and you, voila, belittle me with a lack of respect that I don't think I deserve from you.".

At the end of the recording, he made a demand: "So I want to figure out now, within half an hour, who's coming with me tomorrow. I need both someone to drive and someone to film. If you can't provide me with four people - great, then tell me and I'll know what to do.".

Or Yitzhak, spokeswoman for Finance Committee Chairman Hanoch Malbitsky, responded to the leaked video: "It was important for me to respond myself. The video in question is one of many videos and extensive correspondence that has been going on for over four years in a private group of the bureau's staff.

""It is sad that there are those who thought it was right to release a video of this kind. Distributing it to the public does not change any of the facts and certainly cannot erase the work of an entire term. It is precisely from the allegations that one can see how thoughtful Hanoch Boss is and how he works in full cooperation with his team.".

""On a personal note, Yom Kippur is coming up - whoever leaked the video should be ashamed of themselves. Good job.".

Minister Isaac Wasserlauf Responded on his X account:

""I have to get this out because it really hits home for me. I despise good spoons. I have no other way to say it.".

You have been given a position of trust. Someone chose you, trusted you, brought you into their office, and gave you a place and a livelihood.

And then comes the moment when it becomes clear that he is not continuing for another term and suddenly you are not answering the phones? You still receive a salary from the bureau, yes?

And release a video that embarrasses the MK you still work for? I really can't understand it.

You are allowed to be disappointed, you are allowed to be angry, and you are also allowed to get up and leave. No one owes anyone their life.

But come on, where is the gratitude? Where is a little loyalty? Where is the respect for a person who trusted you?

It's precisely when the interest ends that you see who's standing in front of you. And people who, as soon as they have nothing more to receive from you, turn their backs on you, that's something I simply can't respect.

It makes me angry and it mostly disappoints me. Shame on you. Really.".
