Member of Knesset Amit Halevi alleged that Arabs from the Nablus area are adding lime to tahini destined for Israeli consumers, claiming there is no oversight. Halevi did not provide evidence or specify a source for the claim.
MK Amit Halevi (Likud) claimed on Sunday that Arabs from the Nablus area are adding lime to tahini that is exported to Israeli consumers, alleging a complete lack of supervision. He did not provide evidence or name specific sources. The claim appears to be unsubstantiated so far. Halevi has previously spoken about what he described as 'poisoned tahini' from the Palestinian Authority, as The Zioneer reported in July.
