MK Tally Gotliv Slams Coalition Cooperation With Arab Lawmakers
MK Tally Gotliv sharply criticized Arab lawmakers and coalition members, labeling cooperation with them as extortion, while attacking the High Court and Arab MKs.
MK Tally Gotliv launched a scathing attack against Arab members of the Knesset and coalition members whom she accused of cooperating with them, labeling such cooperation as extortion and protection payments to terror supporters.
Speaking in the parliament, Gotliv detailed an incident from the previous day in the House Committee, where she was expelled from the session. She claimed she was a victim of protection money allegedly paid by opposition figures to Arab lawmakers in the Knesset. According to her, the committee chairman removed her at the request of MK Ahmad Tibi after pressure was applied regarding her remarks.
The lawmaker also sharply criticized the High Court of Justice for previously greenlighting the participation of Arab parties in elections. She argued that the judiciary failed to disqualify candidates representing significant portions of the population despite their political stances, warning against such judicial decisions.
Concluding her remarks, Gotliv condemned the conduct of Arab MKs during the Knesset swearing-in ceremony, noting that they left the plenum during the national anthem. She also targeted MK Mansour Abbas with harsh rhetoric concerning his political conduct.
