Hadash MK of Joint List chides Netanyahu
18 March 2015 03:26 GMT
In the Nazareth headquarters of the Joint List after midnight Wednesday, members of the Knesset addressed a crowd of supporters, who sang and danced and raised Palestinian flags.
Dov Khenin, an MK of the left-wing Jewish-Arab Hadash party, said: "One thing you can say about the day we’ve been through is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has crossed every red line in his behaviour.
Earlier Tuesday, Netanyahu released a video warning voters that Arab citizens of Israel were voting "in droves".
"A prime minister that runs an election campaign and instead of calling citizens to go and vote, he says beware, citizens are voting - this is a prime minister that cannot go on in his position," Khenin said.
"And because of that, we will make every possible effort that the right-wing government will not continue. The extreme right wing didn't succeed in these elections. The results leave them in a minority. I want all the political powers that are not part of the extreme right wing not to cooperate with Netanyahu, with his governmental work, with his government of inequality. The public doesn't want this kind of government again and we have to do everything possible to make sure it doesn't happen again."
