Criticizes her coalition members: MK Efrat Reitan of the Labor Party today (Saturday) objected to a meeting of Meretz members with Abu Mazen three weeks ago, clarifying that "everything has time and timing, and sometimes there is no need to do 'precisely' to undermine and break the ship. I would not do it for them. "
As you may recall, several Meretz officials caused a stir earlier this month when they met - with the knowledge of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett - with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas at a Muqata in Ramallah. ) Following the meeting, while the chairman of the Likud faction, MK Yariv Levin, attacked: "Left-wing government ministers continue to crawl on their bellies to Abu Mazen."
MK Reitan, who participated in the "Shabbat Tarbut" event in Petah Tikva, added that she "understands that we have a responsibility, but if it was important to them right now to travel to meet with Abu Mazen - I respect them and the decision.
We have now been given a mandate to make real change here, and we must do so in a careful and responsible manner.
Things have their time. "
MK Reitan also referred to the law preventing the term of office of prime minister with indictments.
"This is not 'Netanyahu's law," she said, "because Netanyahu himself voted in favor of a similar law in 2008. I would not want a prime minister to be charged with a crime, certainly not as a public representative who should represent clean hands."
