Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday responded to questions from visitors to his Facebook page, and stated that Israel would continue to fight the Palestinian Arab incitement which is directly responsible for the latest wave of terrorism against Israelis.
Asked why inciting Arab MKs are permitted to continue to serve in the Knesset, Netanyahu replied, "First of all I want to make it clear: I respect all of Israel's citizens, Jews and Arabs alike. I want to see the integration of Israel's Arab citizens into Israel's economy and the working world.

So I am promoting legislation to suspend whoever behaves this way.”
