The Balad Party has attacked the Blue and White Party against the backdrop of its joining a request to disqualify Balad Member of Knesset Heba Yazbak as a Knesset candidate for her remarks in support of terror.

A Balad statement said, "The decision of Blue and White to support the request to disqualify MK Heba Yazbak proves once again that it is Likud 2 and that it is no different from it in any matter of principle. As we have already said: Blue and White is not an alternative to [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu but the other side of the same coin."
