Livni warns foreign diplomats not to ‘fall in the trap’ of Arab MKs

Opposition leader Tzipi Livni warns foreign diplomats not to “fall in the trap” set by the Arab Knesset members who are seeking UN condemnation over the controversial nation-state law.

Livni, who was staunchly opposed to the law herself, tells the representatives from 11 countries not to meddle in internal Israeli affairs, according to Hadashot news.

She tells the diplomats “not to fall into the trap” set by members of the Point (Arab) List, who are working along Palestinians to pass a UN resolution that would liken the Israeli legislation to apartheid era-policies.

“[The MKs] and the Palestinian Authority do not accept the principal that Israel is the state of the Jewish people,” she says.

“Its impossible to demand two states for two peoples in one breath, and at the same time not accept the fact that Israel is the state of the Jewish people.
