Liberman slams Arab MK for attending Arafat memorial
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDefense Minister Avidor Liberman has slammed Joint (Arab) List Party chair Ayman Odeh for taking part in a memorial to Yasser Arafat after he boycotted the funeral of former president Shimon Peres.
“He is not prepared to come to the Peres funeral in Jerusalem, but to speak at the Arafat memorial in Ramallah, yes,” Liberman fumes on his Facebook page.
להגיע ללוויה של פרס בירושלים הוא לא מוכן – לנאום לזכר ערפאת היום ברמאללה – כן. נמשיך לפעול כדי שהוא גם לא יהיה חבר בכנסת בירושלים אלא מקסימום חבר במועצה הפלסטינית ברמאללה.

Liberman says he will continue to work to try and make sure Odeh will not be an Israeli MK in the future, but rather “a member of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah.”
Liberman has been leading a boycott of the Arab party since the Peres funeral.
