Israeli Arab party rejects Netanyahu's apology as 'empty words'
None
The Joint Arab List rejected an apology by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for comments he made against Israeli Arab's voting rights on Election Day.
"Sadly the racism of Netanyahu and his government did not start with this statement and it surely will not be its end," the party wrote in a statement.
"Racist and exclusionary legislation are part of Netanyahu's work plan for the next Knesset, and thus we have no choice but to reject this apology and continue our struggle for equality for (Israel's) Arabs. His 'apology' is just empty words intended to preserve his racist regime," they said.
