Minister Uri Ariel tries to calm Likud-Jewish Home rift
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAgriculture Minister Uri Ariel, of the Jewish Home party, tries to dampen the escalating friction between his faction and the ruling Likud party over the creation of a new public broadcasting corporation slated to launch on January 1.
“The statement by Likud that [Jewish Home leaders Naftali] Bennett and [Ayelet] Shaked are ‘leftist’ is absurd. I expect the prime minister to distance himself from that comment,” Ariel says.
“Even when we disagree, it’s important to carry ourselves in a way that preserves the nationalist camp,” he says.
