The leader of the party Our Home Israel, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that the United Arab List has once again demonstrated the anti-Israeli and terrorist nature of its activities.

The indignation of the minister was caused by the fact that the deputy of the Knesset from the United Arab List Abd-el-Hakim Hajj-Yahya took part in the celebrations in honor of the release from prison of a terrorist who served time for complicity with Hamas.

"Why should Israeli taxpayers pay the salary of the hatred of Israel, Jamal Zakhalka, who in the 1970s served time for terrorist activities? Or the instigator of Ahmad Tibi, who for many years was the personal adviser of the mega terrorist Arafat? Or the notorious Khanin Zuabi, who not only personally participated in the terrorist flotilla "Mavi Marmara", but also called the kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli youth "a legitimate action of resistance?", Said Avigdor Lieberman.

He also recalled that the founder of the Balad Azmi Bshara party included in the United Arab List was accused of espionage and was hiding abroad, and the former deputy from this bloc, Basel Gatas, was in prison for carrying cell phones to prisoners of terror, using parliamentary immunity.

"BAGAC repeatedly repeals the decisions of the Central Election Commission on the initiative of the NDI to remove the terrorist party Balad from the elections. But we are not going to give up. The NDI party will struggle to change the electoral legislation, and the corresponding bill is again submitted to the Knesset by the deputy from our party Oded Forer. We hope that, in the present situation, the deputies from other parties do not torpedo him, as it happened earlier, "said Avigdor Lieberman.
