Israeli Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked attacked Palestinian Knesset Members on Friday describing them as terrorists.
Responding to a video published by the Arab Front for Change parliamentary coalition, which shows Israeli abuses in occupied East Jerusalem’s Shuafat camp, Shaked called the coalition members “terrorists in suits”.
כשאנחנו רואים את המהומות והעימותים במזרח ירושלים ואז את הסרטון האנטי ישראלי הזה, הכל מתחבר.
חד"ש ותע"ל הם מחבלים בחליפות שמסיתים את ערביי ישראל נגד הממשלה ונגד המדינה. אין להם מקום בכנסת ישראל. https://t.co/mxRXGNTVtb— איילת שקד Ayelet Shaked (@Ayelet__Shaked) October 13, 2022
The video places blame on Shaked and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid for violence in the Shuafat camp.
“When we see the riots and clashes in East Jerusalem and then this anti-Israeli video, everything falls into place. Hadash and Ta’al [parties] are terrorists in suits that incite Israeli Arabs against the government and the state. They have no place in the Israeli Knesset,” Shaked wrote on Twitter.
Shaked said that she would continue to push for revoking the citizenship of “the terrorists” and their families and demolishing their homes, as part of her philosophy of “everything possible to restore deterrence.”

Moreover, she has threatened to sue the party for “defamation”.
Israeli forces have for days stormed the Shuafat camp in East Jerusalem and towns in the West Bank in search of alleged perpetrators, imposing a siege killing and wounding Palestinians.
Pot meet kettle.
