Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) on Monday blamed the rise in the cost of living on the haredi community.
"The fact that 50% of the haredi community does not participate in the work force is a central reason for the cost of living," Liberman claimed.
Haredi women almost all work, but many haredi men study in yeshiva long-term.
MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) quickly responded, saying, "The harsh statements about the cost of living made by Liberman during a party meeting are not even worthy of a response. His words should be sent in a wheelbarrow to the garbage dump."
