MK Tibi: 'General results contrary to expectations and a dissapointment

Joint Arab List MK Ahmed Tibi said Tuesday that "the general results are contrary to the expectations and a dissapointment. We thought the Israeli public would want to go in the direction to change the grim social-poltical-economic reality. A unity government is the worst option of all."

Regarding comments made earlier Tuesday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who warned a large Arab turnout would harm the Likud, Tibi said: "To scare the public from participation of citizens in the elections just because they are Arab - imagine the prime minister of France or Sweden saying this about Jewish voters. It is embarrassing and racist at the least adn he should be ashamed he said that sentence."
