On Friday, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett took to Twitter after MK Aida Touma Sliman from the Arab Joint List accused the IDF of spraying Palestinians at a Samaria checkpoint with an “unknown substance.”
“You are a liar, anti-Semitic and despicable,” Bennett posted in response.
“These are not IDF forces. The Palestinian Authority disinfected the checkpoint,” said Bennett, correctly describing what transpired in a video posted by Touma Sliman.
After the defense minister’s tweet, Touma Sliman responded, “The video I uploaded a few minutes ago was from the Palestinian side…I was misled.”
Bennett included in his tweet a reference to the fact that Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz is currently in negotiations with Touma Sliman’s Arab Joint List faction to secure their outside support for a minority government to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
