Ta’al faction leader Ahmad Tibi claims the outgoing government is the “most lethal” toward Palestinians in Israel’s history, commenting on the death of a 16-year-old girl last night during a gunfight between IDF troops and Palestinian gunmen in Jenin.
The outgoing government was composed of right-wing, centrist and left-wing parties, including the Islamist Ra’am — the first time an Arab party had become part of an Israeli coalition.
At a Hadash-Ta’al faction meeting, the Arab politician — whose party remained in the opposition — claims that over the past year, “more Palestinians have been killed than during any previous government, including right-wing ones.”
“Everyone knows the lies after the death of Shireen Abu Akleh, and the same is happening here,” Tibi says, referring to the death of an Al Jazeera journalist earlier this year which was first said by Israel to not have been caused by its troops, with Jerusalem later acknowledging the shot was likely fired by an IDF soldier.
