MK Yulia Shamalov-Berkovich (Kadima) has been under criticism over her call to lock human rights activists in the Sudanese transit camps in the Negev.
Shamalov-Berkovich told Arutz Sheva on Wednesday that she will not take back her comments, explaining they were actually meant to expose the duplicity of human rights organizations.
“Those organizations severely harm Israel and so I will continue to treat them in a negative way and expose their hypocrisy and their true nature,” she said.
