Meretz leader, protesting at Netanyahu trial, blasts his former allies
Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz posts a photo of himself protesting against Netanyahu outside the courtroom, and slams Blue and White and Labor lawmakers for dropping their fight against corruption to join the Likud-led government.
“Those who should be standing with me, against the wild incitement in the courts, are [Blue and White leader Benny] Gantz, [Avi] Nissenkorn, [Labor leader Amir] Peretz and [Gabi] Ashkenazi,” he tweets. “But they, who were elected to fight corruption, are silent like fish. They are serving under the defendant, and giving him approval. Shameful.”
Meretz ran in the March election on a joint ticket with Labor and Gesher, both of which broke off to join the new government.
מי שצריך לעמוד פה אתי, מול ההסתה המופרעת הזו בבית המשפט, אלה גנץ וניסנקורן פרץ ואשכנזי. אבל הם, שנבחרו כדי להיאבק בשחיתות, שותקים היום כמו דגים אילמים. הם יושבים תחת הנאשם, ונותנים לו הכשר. בושה pic.twitter.com/f8O5BamHNU
