Liberman: "We will not sit with those who support terror"

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman stated on Facebook that he will refuse to enter a coalition with Arab parties, accusing their lawmakers of supporting terrorism.

Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman published a sharp post on Facebook in which he stated that he will refuse to enter a coalition with Arab parties. He wrote: "We will not sit with those who support terror." As justification, Liberman cited several examples: MK Ofer Cassif supported South Africa's lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which alleged genocide; Ra'am MK Yasser Hujirat called Hamas a charitable organization; and Osama Saadi on election night dedicated achievements to "our people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and occupied Jerusalem." Liberman emphasized that Yisrael Beiteinu will not participate in a coalition that relies on such forces.
