Arab MK accuses PM of trying to ‘delegitimize’ law enforcement
MK Ahmad Tibi of the Joint List party accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a “bully” and not interested in “dialogue,” during his speech at the opening of the Knesset’s winter session.
Responding to the speech in which Netanyahu accused the opposition and media of being “sourpusses,” Tibi says the prime minister was trying to “delegitimize the authorities investigating him.”
This is a reference to the ongoing criminal investigations related to the prime minister.
Tibi’s speech is eventually interrupted by his longtime foil Likud MK Oren Hazan, who gets kicked out of the plenary.
