The Likud has responded to Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman's claim that "while ISIS threatens to destroy Israel, the Israeli government feels it right to strengthen the Arab Joint List - which, just like ISIS, ultimately intends to destroy the State of Israel."
The party stated that they "suggest that Liberman learn the material before blabbering to death. This is the first time that transferring funds to the Arab sector is conditional on stopping the illegal construction that is spreading out across all parts of the country."
