Gal-On slams Zoabi suspension from Knesset as ‚draconian‘

(30. Juli) “Should a committee that is supposed to guard the rights of the minority be allowed to suspend someone for half a year? Is that not draconian? Are you crazy? That is silencing the opposition,” she complained.

Gal-On accused Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman of Yisrael Beytenu of systematically delegitimizing Israeli Arabs, without consequences.

“The coalition is using the tyranny of the majority to pass laws that, on any other day [not in wartime], would raise a public discourse,” she said.
