Refuses to bow her head:
After sources in her area said that MK Kida, Jida Rinawi Zoabi, did not intend to respond to the pressure and resign from the Knesset, the rebel coalition member was interviewed on the radio today (Tuesday).
She distanced herself from Bibi's opponents and even told of murder threats directed at her on their behalf.
"There is the" just not Bibi "camp which for me is a fanatical camp for everything, they do not see with their eyes and are willing to go over all their principles just so as not to see Bibi in power" said the MK to explain her lack of cooperation with the government around the issue of extending regulations Judea and Samaria.
In recent weeks, the Knesset member has suffered strong public pressure when her members of the Meretz party and the coalition parties accused her of leading to the formation of a Bibi-Ben Gvir government, which they claim will harm the Arab public.
In an interview with Kol Barama, Zoabi spoke about the threats she received: "In our camp, there is a small nucleus that is very violent. Unfortunately, I can tell you that I have been receiving death threats in the last two weeks."
Against the background of her remarks about the threats of murder, Zoabi filed a complaint with the Knesset officer, which was forwarded to the police.
The Knesset confirmed that there was an appeal, but refused to say what evidence was presented, from which side they came and in fact what the substantive content of the complaint was.
Last month, MK Jida Rinawi Zoabi of Meretz announced that she was resigning from the coalition following what she defines as "a preference for coalition leaders to preserve and strengthen its right-wing side." She also accused the prime ministers of not cooperating with the Arab public. Jewish politicians see us as partners at eye level.
They always think they are doing us a favor.
"Sorry, you are not doing a favor by giving the Arab public what it deserves," she said.

In order to straighten things out and bring it back to the coalition, the deputy prime minister, Yair Lapid, met with Zoabi and tried to entice her to stay in government in exchange for benefits given to the Arab sector.
Zoabi claimed that in her meetings with Lapid it was agreed that she would not vote in favor of laws that make it ideologically difficult, but the Foreign Minister's entourage denied this and said: "Whoever is a coalition member should vote with the coalition."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
