In an interview with 103FM, MK Ram Ben Barak sharply attacked the government following the events in Khusra. He called the violence of the Jewish rioters 'terrorism in every sense' and called for the reinstatement of administrative detentions against Jews, claiming the government refrains from doing so due to political pressure. Ben Barak said: 'This is a serious statement and I stand behind it,' referring to the claim that the government 'buys power with money.' He also expressed a firm stance on conscription, stating that the draft law applies to everyone, and that those who preach against conscription cannot be part of the government. Regarding the service of Arabs, he said that those who wish to enlist should be allowed to do so, but there is no situation where an Israeli citizen does not serve in some form. Ben Barak expressed cautious optimism about the economic situation and called for directing coalition funds to the right places instead of non-productive entities.
