MK Walid Al-Huashla from the Ra'am party responded to Rami Levy's words at the Israeli Construction Center Conference, City of Real Estate. "Whoever wants to fire workers because they are Arabs, does not deserve to have them work for him," he tweeted.

Levy said that ''our problem is that some Israelis do not want to work for me. In the end, half a million foreign workers should be brought in. It is impossible to depend on the Palestinians anymore," he said.
