Zionist Union MKs answer Joint List MK's tirade

A day after Joint List MK Jamal Zahalka lashed out at Zionist Union MK Stav Shaffir, Shaffir says that Zahalka “believes in a binational state. Maybe he can find his partners in Likud, where they also believe in annexing territories and establishing a binational state. I oppose this position. If he wants me to apologize for it, I will not apologize for it.”

Shaffir’s colleague in Zionist Union, MK Nachman Shai, says Zahalka “refuses to come to terms with the fact that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people.”

Yesterday, during a lengthy discussion in the Knesset over the gas deal, Zahalka used his turn at the podium as an opportunity to deliver a long and bizarre tirade against Shaffir. Zahalka accused Shaffir of being a racist and said the fact that she did “not even say hello” to him in the hallways of the Knesset was proof of this.
