The Balad party, which forms part of the Joint (Arab) List, hits back at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for planning legislation to disqualify lawmakers who follow in the footsteps of the MKs who met last week with the families of terrorists killed while carrying out attacks on Israelis.

All three lawmakers who attended the meeting are from Balad.

“Once Bibi (Netanyahu) realized that there is no ethical or criminal issue with the meeting MKs held on (Israel) releasing (terrorists’) bodies, he began trying to score political points by advancing legislation that would harm the political representation of the Arab minority, and and reduce the scope of political action,” Balad says, according to the Walla website.
