In July 1986 Prime Minister Shimon Peres , the leader of the Labor Party , forced Modai to resign after Modai sharply criticized Peres . Modai , who was known for having a " sharp tongue , " had been heard on public radio saying he did not need to consult Peres because " Peres does n't understand law , just like he does n't understand economics . " In his role as Justice Minister , Modai was involved in handling a scandal , known as the Bus 300 affair involving Shin Bet . In announcing his forced resignation , Modai commented , " The restraint demanded of me is too much for flesh and blood .
