No tolerance for Israeli Arabs
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett spoke out on Thursday against expressions of Palestinian nationalism within Israel, saying, “We need not tolerate Israeli Arabs who promote Nakba Day.”
Nakba Day, which commenced on Thursday, is an annual day of commemoration on which Palestinians lament the establishment of the Jewish state and the fate of Palestinian refugees from the Israeli War of Independence in 1948.
Bennett was quoted by Army Radio as saying, “I do not support any event or organization which promotes the establishment of a national Palestinian agenda in Israel.”
