Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid has praised the Cabinet's decision to ban the northern branch of the Islamic Movement.

"The Cabinet made the right decision, to ban the northern branch of the Islamic movement - we can't allow those who incite and advance terror within the State of Israel to wander freely in the streets and mosques while advancing their intentions to kill," said MK Lapid. "The State of Israel upholds the rule of law and all incitement and advancement of terror requires a strong and clear response."
