Minister of Communications Yoaz Handel said today (Tuesday) in an interview with Network B that he has no problem sitting in the coalition with MK Walid Taha from Ra'am, but he refuses to sit with MK Ben Gvir.
"Ben Gvir and his gang are harming the security of the state out of free hatred," the communications minister explained.
"The RAAM party has declared itself as someone who wants to join the coalition and sees the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state."
MK Ben Gvir did not remain obligated and told on his Twitter account that a soldier turned to him and told him about Minister Handel: "Why is he stabbing my and my friends in the back and willing to sit down with someone who supports my murder?".

Other right-wing Knesset members joined the protests when one of them, MK Shlomo Qara of the Likud, said: "Handel's interview finally proves to what abyss these people have fallen. "Proponents of terrorism such as RAAM and Taha - yes, religious Zionism and Itamar Ben Gvir - no. Just like that, without a minimum of shame, when a minute before he sanctified (properly) the significant military service.
