The words of the Minister for Community Strengthening and Advancement, Orly Levy-Abaxis, in an interview with Matti Tochfeld in "Israel This Week" are causing a stir.
Levy-Abaxis said in an interview that "there was a Meretz incident on Rabin.
Ask where I am.
I answered that Rabin is yours, not mine.
Not related to me. '
Zehava Gal-On, former chairman of the Meretz party, tweeted a comment on Levy-Abaxis' remarks: "Orly Levy did not have to tell this story.
She thought it might bring her another vote that would elevate her above her zero seats.
And this is the point: it has an audience.
It took a little over two decades, but all the poison that the right hid on Rabin is coming out. "
Brigadier General (Res.) Avi Banyahu, a former IDF spokesman who was the then prime minister's communications adviser to the then prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, also tweeted that: "There is no limit to impudence, bluntness and incitement.
Unfortunately, this woman is polluting the Knesset and desecrating the memory of the late Yitzhak Rabin, in order to wink at those who incited against him. "
Former Knesset member Ayelet Nachmias-Rabin also responded by saying: Your Prime Minister.
Benjamin Netanyahu is my prime minister as well, and I made sure to always say that even when I was uncomfortable.
On the 25th anniversary of the assassination, it is amazing that this is what she decided to tell Sarah, whose entire political existence today rests on the voters of Yitzhak Rabin. "
Minister Levy-Abaxis, who apparently tried to reduce the criticism leveled at her, tweeted: "Rabin was the prime minister of us all.
His horrific assassination has hurt Israeli society as a whole, but one can abhor his horrific assassination even without embracing Rabin's legacy and political path. "
