After the storm he provoked when he said in the interview, "If Mansour Abbas wants to join after we have 61 seats, hello and cheers," the Knesset member returns after being reprimanded by Netanyahu • Amsalem: "Whoever does not want a Jewish state to vote for Anti-Zionist "


"My wrong choice of words and things that were not properly understood or taken out of context," Dudi Amsalem tweeted, apologizing for the storm he provoked during an interview with the "Morning News" where he proposed joining RAAM to the coalition, if the Likud has 61 seats in government.

"Friends, I also admit that the interview with Raskin was not successful. My choice of words was incorrect and things were not properly understood or taken out of context," MK Amsalem wrote on his Twitter page. "You know me and my connection to Israeli tradition and Judaism.

Anyone who does not want a Jewish state to vote for the left.

There is no place for any anti-Zionist party in the government of the Shankim national camp. "

Ladies and gentlemen,


I also admit that the interview with Raskin was not successful.


My wrong choice of words and things that were not properly understood or taken out of context.


But you know me and my connection to the tradition of Israel and Judaism.


Whoever does not want a Jewish state to vote for the left❗ In

As you may recall, last Sunday, MK Amsalem provoked a storm that said during an interview that "if Mansour Abbas wants to join after we have 61 seats, hello and hello," this has caused a stir in the opposition. 

Amsalem's party said that his remarks were made contrary to Netanyahu's position: "He never agreed and will never agree to include RAAM in his coalition." Netanyahu himself responded by saying: In the past.

"RAAM is an anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist party that supports terrorism, representing the Muslim Brotherhood that seeks to destroy Israel. The Likud under my leadership has never agreed and will never agree to put RAAM in any coalition."

He added: "In 2019, when the right was with 60 seats after Lieberman defected to the left, I refused Abbas' proposals to support the formation of a government headed by me, so we went to the polls. "They sold the country to them - the Likud under my leadership has never done it and will never do it. This is the essence of the upcoming elections: a strong national government led by me or an anti-Zionist government that will include Mansour Abbas and Ra'am, Ahmad Tibi and the joint, and will be completely dependent on them."

"Some Likud members attacked me. Netanyahu issued a statement to harm me," Amsalem claimed that day in an interview with Yaakov Bardugo and Moriah Kor on Gali Israel radio.

He added: "I was surprised that he did not call, and he does so not for the first time. I would be happy to hear Netanyahu on the issue of reform of the judicial system," he said in response to Netanyahu's remarks.

Today, Dudi Amsalem addressed the Knesset plenum, where he apologized for his remarks, and uploaded the video to his Twitter page. 

Were we wrong?
