The Zionist Union has praised the the government's decision to ban the northern branch of the Islamic Movement.
"The banning of the Islamic Movement is the right step, that the Zionist Union has been demanded for more than a month, and it is too bad that Bibi has taken so long to take such a necessary move," the party noted in a statement, adding: "Now we must also ban Lehava and La Familia. In contrast to the buying of coalition MKs through bribes, which was done daily, the fight against incitement takes Bibi too long. Netanyahu must continue fighting terror with a strong hand alongside confidence-building measures."
