MK Stav Shaffir (Zionist Union) commented this morning (Tuesday) on the recent comments by MK Jamal Zahalka (Arab Joint List). The latter accused MK Shaffir of never saying hello to him - "I'm invisible to her. The Arabs don't exist."
Shaffir said, "Yesterday MK Jamal Zahalka made an apparently personal attack against me - asking whether or not I say hello in the hallway. But the true reason behind the attack has nothing to do with my kindness, but rather the fact that he is angry that I tried to expose the political deal that Netanyahu offered the Joint List behind the public's back."
Shaffir accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of offering incentives to the Joint List in exchange for their vote in favor of the gas plan.
