The political storm surrounding the end of vote counting and the opposition bloc's attempts to form a coalition majority continues to draw sharp reactions. Journalist Ayala Hasson launched an unprecedented attack this morning (Friday) during an interview with journalist Eli Tzipori on Galei Israel radio, targeting the characterisation of the Arab public and Arab parties as part of the "bloc for change".
"What is this bloc for change?" Hasson asked on air. "Bedouin women in the Negev with their husbands' poisons, who are mostly battered women. And after they grow up and become elderly at 26, the husband brings another woman, and after she reaches 25 he brings another woman. And polygamy is illegal in the State of Israel, so he actually divorces her, but she stays, and all the National Insurance payments for the children go through. And these women are usually Palestinians from Hebron and Gaza, sisters of Ismail Haniyeh. So they're our bloc for change? That's how you keep working on the public?"
