Netanyahu answering challenges in the Knesset
July 18, 2016Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu participated in a question and answer session in the Knesset this evening (Monday).
MK Tamar Zandberg of Meretz asked the Prime Minister why he hadn’t addressed the controversy surrounding the comments against the gay community made by Rabbi Yigal Levinstein.
“I’m not a professional internet commentator and neither do I work on MK Zandberg’s schedule,” Netanyahu retorted, “but the comments are unacceptable. The LGBT community is part of us. They are citizens like everyone else. Israel needs to be a home for all Jews.”
The Prime Minister also addressed the matter of the investigation opened into alleged financial violations on his part. He dismissed the allegations, saying “there is nothing. There never was anything. There’s no smoke or fire, only hot air.”
Regarding the matter of the planned evacuation of the Samaria village of Amona Netanyahu said, “Amona is a matter of doing justice in an issue that’s been going on for many years. Several proposals have come up, and the Defense Minister asked for a few days to examine the matter. All involved parties would like to see a settlement rather than anything else.”
