Liberman: Arab party chief part of a ‘fifth column’

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman renews his attack on Joint (Arab) List leader Ayman Odeh over the latter’s confrontation with police following allegations of violence by officers at a protest in Haifa, accusing the lawmaker of being part of a “fifth column.”

Referring to the Gaza solidarity protests, Liberman says protesters sided with Hamas over the IDF.

“This is a fifth column for all intents and purposes,” says Liberman, singling out Odeh and other members of his party.

Liberman laments the “systematic failure” of law enforcement to take action against Odeh “and his friends” and calls for them to be outlawed.
