MK Galon in rare attack on Arab MKs

MK Zehava Galon, who heads the ultra-leftist Meretz party, issued a rare denunciation of Arab MKs Monday, after the Hadash and Balad parties within the Arab Joint List issued formal condemnations of the decision by Arab Gulf states to classify Hezbollah as a terror group.

“The decision by Balad and Hadash to fight against defining Hezbollah as a terror organization marks a moral low,” she wrote on Facebook. “Hezbollah is a murderous and fundamentalist organization that systematically employs indiscriminate violence. An organization that is responsible for the deaths of many tens of Israelis, and that has been murdering innocent Syrians daily in the last few years, in service of Assad.”
