Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman joins in the criticism of Joint List MKs for visiting King Abdullah in Jordan, telling them to add a one-way to ticket to war-town Syria to their agenda, which also includes a trip to Turkey to meet with Erdogan.
“This is another inciting step by the Joint List MKs who work day and night at anti-Israel activities and are doing everything in their power to inflame and destabilize the situation in the region and damage the State of Israel, in whose parliament they serve,” he writes on Facebook. “I suggest they add another stop on their planned trip — that they travel also to Syria and stay there.”
In response, MK Ahmad Tibi, one of the five lawmakers who went to Jordan, attacks Liberman’s Moldovan heritage, mistakenly calling him Russian.
“The man from Russia wants to expel us to Syria. We were born in our homeland here, and there were others who came from other homelands,” he says, according to Maariv.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
