MK Simon Davidson said his party will not support 'extremists' like National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, calling him a criminal unworthy of any government. MK Keti Shitri (Likud) responded by accusing left-wing MK Naama Lazimi of burning roads, suggesting she would face indictment if she belonged to the other camp, alleging selective enforcement.
The exchange between MKs Simon Davidson and Keti Shitri reflects ongoing coalition tensions over National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's role. Davidson's remarks align with opposition criticism of Ben-Gvir, while Shitri's response targets what she sees as double standards in law enforcement. The Zioneer has previously reported on coalition friction involving Ben-Gvir and Haredi parties.
