After retiring from the coalition, MK Jida Rinawi Zoabi of the Meretz party was interviewed today (Friday) in the GLC and sounded less determined and more conciliatory about the tone she uttered yesterday: "I will support the coalition as long as it is attentive to the needs of Arab society," she noted.
In addition, the Meretz MK noted that she is finally giving up her position in Shanghai, which, as first reported in Israel Today, was a trigger for her retirement.
In an interview, she explained the motive for her decision: "During the month of Ramadan, the government broke to the right. Recently, I have had fewer conversations with party members. I consulted with my family."
The retiring Knesset member was interviewed on News 12 yesterday and sounded much more aggressive: "I have reached the point of no return, I can no longer support the coalition."
She also refused to meet with her party chairman, Nitzan Horowitz.

A member of the party, MK Musi Raz, was interviewed by the GLC and said of Zoabi's retirement: "I was surprised. We need to remember which company she comes from, she may be under pressure. We can not accept everything the government will do - if there is a transfer in the southern Hebron Mountains "If they try to expel Khan al-Ahmar, we can not accept that. But I see the alternative."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
