MK Yitzhak Herzog responded on Wednesday morning via Twitter to criticism of statements he made on Tuesday, according to which his party needs to “Change the situation in the country without giving off the impression that we are Arab-lovers.”

“I heard that there are those who are unhappy with my approach to Zionism. If they want that the Chairman of the Zionist Union prioritizes Palestinian Arab interests, then I have a message for you: rethink the path (you want to take).”
