Danny Danon, head of the World Likud, slammed the reported demand by Meretz MK Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi for 300 million NIS to be transferred to Arab local authorities.

In a tweet, Danon said, "Extortion. That is exactly what MK Zoabi of Meretz is doing to this weak government, which is extorted and forced to transfer hundreds of millions of shekels to the Arab authorities. This weak government needs to fall, and the sooner the better."
