Minister calls for official to be fired for supporting Palestinian return

Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz calls for the sacking of an Arab official in his ministry who was the subject of a front-page newspaper story this morning.

In a Facebook post, Katz blasts Makbula Nassar, who, according to the report in the daily Israel Hayom, supports a right of return for Palestinian refugees and was critical of the public security minister.

“Someone who’s active in anti-Zionist Palestinian organizations is unfit to carry out educational roles,” he says of Nassar, who is in charge of promoting road safety among Israeli Arabs.
