Day to the primaries in the Likud: Regev introduced the Bukhars to the battle against Assam

Culture Minister Miri Regev said Tuesday that "the voters cannot be beat," while MK Gideon Sa'ar, who is running for the Likud's primaries, is of Bukhari origin. Her remarks have harshly criticized the political system, and Sa'ar reacted harshly.

"In the past hours and days, unfortunately, the other side is spreading extreme news news: lies, slander, slander and even racist statements," said Sa'ar. "This is not our way. This is not the Likud way. We committed to a respectable and respectable campaign and we stood by it. Unfortunately, Netanyahu's campaign avoided serious and serious conflict and decided to run a negative and unrelenting campaign. I trust the Likud members' wisdom. And true. Tomorrow is the change. I need you. Let's do it together. "

Then, Saar posted a photo in traditional Bukharan clothing to his Twitter page, tweeting on Twitter: "Bukhari is proud!"

Regev explained following the storm that it was a "humorous statement" overall. "The head of Saar's headquarters in Or Yehuda is Bukhari, and who is supposed to help bring the members of the Bukhari community to vote for Netanyahu, Jenna Cohen is a Bukhari as well. Who, in large part, choose to vote for Netanyahu as opposed to those who will vote for the storm, "Regev said.

According to her, "There is no one in the conference who did not understand the statement and the wink, in the Likud there are groups representing different denominations and members of the community and I am very proud of it. I have worked a lot for the Bukharan community and will continue to work for it and for all the communities in Israel. To offend me, they do so in the name of anti-Bibi ideology, from the left's midst. "

Tweet from Saar's Response:

The Labor Party also condemned these things, calling them "a shameful stance for Likud." The party claimed that the Likud was "a party that became detached and stopped counting people," adding: "Regev's racist statements against a Jewish community in Bukhara cannot move to the agenda, Prime Minister Netanyahu must announce that he has suspended her from all office functions."
