Labor party leader Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli chastises Friday’s declaration of six prominent Palestinian rights groups as terror organizations.

“The way the declaration was made caused big harm to Israel,” she says, adding that it “could harm Israel’s interests and shouldn’t have happened. Such steps should be made with adequate preparation.”
