Watch: Moti Kastel exposes the hypocrisy of the left
Our political correspondent Moti Kastel claims that the cancellation of the unity meeting between Likud and the National Unity party is hypocritical, and that Netanyahu's speech did not contain incitement but rather quotes from Arab MKs. Likud suspected it was a media stunt.
Channel 14's political correspondent Moti Kastel claims that the cancellation of the unity meeting between Likud and the National Unity party is a hypocritical step. According to him, the official reason for the cancellation – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, which was called "inciting and divisive" – is unjustified. Kastel said he reviewed the speech and found no incitement in it, but rather quotes from Arab MKs from Ra'am who spoke in praise of Palestine and against the occupation. He added that Likud had suspected from the outset that it was a media stunt, and that the cancellation confirmed their suspicions. Kastel analyzed that Netanyahu is operating on two fronts: a genuine desire for unity in light of security challenges, alongside preparing the ground for possible elections, in which he will present himself as one who extended a hand for peace against the left bloc and supporters of terror.
