A top Likud official lashed out at Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday, criticizing his decision to appoint lawmaker Mansour Abbas as the head of the Knesset (Israel Parliament) Internal Affairs and Environment Committee.

“In a reckless move, Bennett puts Mansour Abbas as head of the Internal Affairs Committee that is supposed to pass the law which prevents vast Palestinian immigration into Israel, and now with chutzpah asks the opposition to rescue him and transfer the law to another committee,” the official said.

“What does Bennett want from us?” he continued. “He can fire Abbas and pass the law.”
