Liberman hails coalition boycott of Arab MKs’ speeches

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman praises the coalition for boycotting the Arab MKs over their decision to skip the funeral of former president Shimon Peres.

“I hope that same boycott will continue until the end of the session, and will not be a one-time thing,” he says.

He calls the MKs “representatives of terror groups in the Israeli government,” who are “not legitimate [and] not wanted here.”

But he says most Arab Israelis are loyal and should be integrated into Israeli society.
