Knesset Member Zeev Bielski (Kadima) said that "The statements made by the tourism minister
cause the State great damage, at home and abroad. Misezhnikov should comprehend that he's a minister in the Israeli government and that his racist remarks may be construed at the government stance."
Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov slammed the multi-annual aid plan to the non-Jewish sector on Saturday and said it perpetuated disloyalty to the State. (Amnon Meranda)
