Netanyahu shrugs off call to apologize for arson claims
Netanyahu shrugs off questions about accusations he made in November that fires that broke out across the country were a deliberate campaign of arson by Arabs to terrorize the Israeli public.
Joint List MK Abd al-Hakim Haj Yahya asks Netanyahu to apologize for making the accusations since no indictments have been filed. Netanyahu dismissed the issue out of hand.
