Meretz leader: Netanyahu is either paranoid or an ‘inciting liar’

Meretz leader Tamar Zandberg berates Netanyahu for his “demonization” of the New Israel Fund.

“If he believes what he’s saying, he’s paranoid; if he doesn’t believe [what he’s saying], he’s an inciting liar,” says Zandberg, shortly after the prime minister called for a parliamentary commission of inquiry in the NIF.

“In any event, this is a situation that raises a real fear about the welfare of the New Israel Fund and civil society organizations,” she adds.

Knesset legal advisers have in the past shot down attempts by lawmakers to open probes into NGOs.
