Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar goes after Meretz MK Gaby Lasky who justified the Palestinian Authority’s so-called “martyr payments” before subsequently apologizing.
“MK Lasky’s remarks are severe, irresponsible and completely contrary to the government’s position,” Sa’ar tweets. “Compensation to terrorists and their families by the Palestinian Authority for their criminal acts encourages terrorism.”
