Israeli deputy minister fired over vote-rigging scandal.
(From Agence France Presse)
Hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dimissed a deputy minister caught up in a cash-for-votes scandal as he moved to shore up ratings ahead of general elections next month.
"The prime minister fired (Deputy Infrastructure Minister) Naomi Blumenthal this evening," said Sharon spokesman Ranaan Gissin of the minister from the hardline premier's right-wing Likud party.
Blumenthal had refused to answer police questions about whether she had paid luxury hotel bills for Likud central committee members in return for their vote to secure her a high place on the party's list of parliamentary candidates.
In a letter to the disgraced deputy minister, Sharon said he had been forced to remove her because she had refused to answer police questions.
