Chairman of the Meretz party, MK Nitzan Horowitz, used his platform at today's Knesset plenum to attack the incoming government.

"This is an extreme-right-wing government that has committed itself to turning Israel into an apartheid state," he accused. "This is a government that has submitted - without a fight - to all the demands of the haredim. This is a corrupt government whose members have betrayed the confident of their voters."
