The Likud party has added its voice to those condemning a tweet put out by the British Board of Deputies against MK Bezalel Smotrich.
"We categorically reject this shameful tweet that was posted by the umbrella organization of British Jews against MK Bezalel Smotrich," the Likud party said in a statement. "In doing so, they have sought to delegitimize an entire sector, one that loves the Jewish People and the Land of Israel and that is represented faithfully by MK Smotrich and his Religious Zionism party.
"It is obvious that this organization would never have treated a Knesset member from the post-Zionist left-wing in such a manner, even those who reject the existence of the State of Israel as the national home of the Jewish People," they added.
