Zahalka hits back at Rivlin for denying his entry to event

Arab MK Jamal Zahalka slams President Rivlin for denying him entry to today’s meeting with the heads of Arab local councils, saying the leaders of the other two Arab parties that make up the Joint List faction canceled in solidarity.

“I didn’t know the president’s residence was short of chairs,” Zahalka quips. “They should consider a bigger budget.”

Rivlin turned down Zahalka due to his participation in a meeting with the families of Palestinian terrorists earlier this month.
