Labor chief calls settlement jubilee event ‘cheap populism’
Labor leader Avi Gabbay calls the state ceremony celebrating 50 years of settlement in the West Bank and Golan Heights “cheap populism.”
At an event with Beersheba residents, Gabbay says “the ceremony costs NIS 10 million. We won’t collect your money and then spill it on the floor.”
Gabbay last week denied he would boycott the controversial event, but accused Netanyahu’s government of being preoccupied with divisive politics.
