Knesset Member Ayman Odeh responded to the report that he is suspected of receiving hundreds of thousands of shekels in cash from the Palestinian Authority, and attacked, saying, "The historic voter turnout of Arab citizens drove Netanyahu and the fascists out of their minds, and the fear of losing power is causing them to shoot in all directions. It is clear to everyone that this is political persecution, which will soon turn into an inflated balloon that will explode right in their faces. As we approach the swearing-in date of the Knesset and the end of Netanyahu's rule, you will see more and more spin and lies. The most important thing now is to continue to act responsibly, decisively and consistently in order to replace this government completely."
