Netanyahu reprimands Hazan over remarks against disabled MK
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he reprimanded MK Oren Hazan over remarks he made belittling fellow MK Karen Elharar over a physical disability in the Knesset.
“I cannot tolerate racism, I cannot suffer discrimination, and I cannot stand abuse, not against you and not against anyone,” he says at an event for the Ethiopian-Israeli community. “Today in the Knesset something happened, something serious. I asked to check the details and they indeed took place. An MK from my party said something wrong to MK Karin Elharar, something it is forbidden to say and I condemn it totally. I called this MK and reprimanded him and told him that these things he said cannot be heard.”
