Making unlikely bedfellows with right-wing lawmakers, including Netanyahu, Meretz leader Zahava Galon attacks the Hadash and Balad parties for condemning a decision by Gulf states to label Hezbollah a terror group, calling it an “ethical lapse.”

“I have no sympathy for the Saudis who advanced the decision of Hezbollah, nor for blood-stained Syrian martyrs, but that does not explain the stubbornness of these Israeli parties to come out and defend an organization that sanctifies death and vows its purpose is wiping out the state of Israel and massacring Israeli civilians,” the leftist MK writes on Facebook. “An embarrassment.”
