Likud MK accuses Joint List lawmaker with COVID-19 of ‘terror attack’ on Knesset

Likud MK Fateen Mulla has accused a Joint List lawmaker sick with the coronavirus of deliberately spreading the virus, in a “terror attack” on the Knesset.

“This is an attack of the Joint List on the Knesset,” he writes in an internal WhatsApp group, referring to the diagnosis of Sami Abou Shahadeh, according to Channel 12.

His comments are derided by Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi, who sneers on Twitter that Mulla is taking over the role of former Likud politician Ayoub Kara, who like Mulla is Druze and has a history of controversial statements.
