Hadash-Ta’al MK says she skipped swearing-in ceremony due to family event

Hadash-Ta’al MK Aida Touma-Sliman says she wasn’t at the swearing-in ceremony for the new Knesset today due to a family gathering overseas planned ahead of time.

“And with this opportunity I swear allegiance to fight for civic and national equality for the Arab Palestinian minority; to resist the occupation and for peace that will only be achieved with the establishment of a Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem,” Touma-Sliman writes on Twitter.
