Likud MK Miri Regev calls Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked the “[Bernie] Madoff of Israeli politics.”

Regev says on Channel 12 News that the two Yamina politicians “sold this country to Mansour Abbas, fulfilling the dream of Yasser Arafat.”

In a fiery debate between the lawmakers on Channel 12, Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi says former Meretz leader Yossi Sarid “is turning over in his grave” after Meretz voted in favor of extending the Palestinian family reunification law.

Tibi added that there was “only one faction in the entire Knesset that was true to its values and voted against the law,” referring to his own Joint List Party.
