The Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party is attacking the attorney general's announcement to the Central Elections Committee that he opposes the disqualification of the Arab parties.
A party statement said, "The time has come to change the equation and inform the supporters of terrorism that they are not welcome in the Israeli Knesset. Democracy must defend itself, and the free hand that the attorney general gives to Balad members, to Ahmad Tibi and Ayman Odeh, causes the Knesset to have a wicked axis that supports terrorism, incites against the state, and receives a salary at the expense of the Israeli taxpayer."
