Yisrael Beitenu party leader MK Avigdor Lieberman is calling on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu not to meet with MK Ayman Udeh, who heads the Joint Arab List which has 13 seats, calling Udeh “a fifth column”.

Lieberman accuses Udeh of being a “supporter of terror”, insisting the Arab parliamentarian is working to destroy Israel from the inside. He compared Udeh to former MK Azmi Bishara, who fled Israel to avoid arrest for his terrorist-linked activities. He is believed operating in Syria.

While PM Netanyahu came under criticism for his Election Day warning that “Arabs are coming to vote in droves” from US President Barak Obama and others. Lieberman spoke out in support of those remarks, adding Mr. Netanyahu was correct to act as he did since the Arab MKs are being encouraged and backed by the PA (Palestinian Authority) and working towards the destruction of the State of Israel.
