He gets off the stand. In his place, the ultra-orthodox interior minister steps up to answer him instead of the prime minister.
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR
My friend, the Leader of the Opposition, I am responding to you on behalf of the Prime Minister of Israel. It is unfortunate that you did not come to ask but instead chose a provocative approach to criticize the government by revealing the existence of the institute. The truth is, my friend, I am also not involved in the decision-making circle. But unlike you, I have patience and do not rush to release sensational news. I do not know why the institute was established, but I am confident that there are those making the right decisions. If it has been decided that the site and its objectives are highly confidential and justify the budget for the establishment of the institute, I accept this until it is decided that this matter will be made public. You will have to be satisfied with my answer.
LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION (IN INTERMISSION)
Hell, no!

Is it only for the people of Israel, as you say?
