In a post on Twitter, SPeaker of the Knesset, Yuli Edelstein (Likud) expressed his joy that MK's Hanin Zoabi and Jamal Zahalka (Joint List) won't be running next election, writing:
"Without Zoabi and Zahalka. And with God's help, without Balad. This party contributes nothing to the Knesset, on the contrary, harms the entire Israeli public."
