The Arab deputy accuses the ministers of the right “of having chosen extremist positions”, recalling the clashes during Ramadan and the police assault on the funeral procession of journalist Shirin Abu Aqla
From our correspondent
JERUSALEM – As in 2001. Out of government and 21 years spent in opposition. There radical left of Meretz this time she did not go out en masse, to leave is only one deputy (out of the 6 brought as a dowry). The Arab Rinawa Zoabi he leaves with a farewell letter and shakes the coalition: he explains that he hoped that the team in power could support “equality”, instead the ministers of the right “have chosen extremist and extremist positions”.
The parliamentarian remembers the clashes on the esplanade of the mosques during Ramadan and the police assault on the funeral procession carrying the reporter’s coffin Abu Aqla Program
, killed in Jenin during an Israeli raid. The Palestinians’ accusations against the army – a sniper allegedly killed the Al Jazira reporter, Tsahal claims that he cannot clarify the responsibilities without analyzing the bullet recovered with the autopsy – have not yet moved Mansour Abbas which represents the Israeli Arabs even more than Zoabi. The choice of which also took by surprise Esawi Frej – Minister for Regional Cooperation, also an Arab – who in these two months of violence (the wave of attacks on Israeli cities caused 17 deaths) tried to protect coexistence, even within the government.
The surprise defection leaves the premier in the minority Naphtali Bennett59 seats out of 120: the head of the party representing the settlers had already lost one of his parliamentarians who – as opposed to Zoabi – went to the other side because the government would not be sufficiently right-wing and would not protect the sensitivity of the ultra-Orthodox. Benjamin Netanyahuthe leader of the Likud ousted last May from the office of prime minister after 12 years in power, he rejoices even if it is not certain that he has the numbers for mistrust and bring the country back to early elections. The vote is likely to have the same results as the last two years, a near-tie and unstable governments.
