Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, has publicly called on Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi to leave Israel and go to Syria. The confrontation stems from a video circulating on social media showing Tibi shouting at election officials, repeatedly saying "Sit down, sit down!"

In a response video, Feiglin accused Tibi of intentionally humiliating Jews. "Ahmad, sit down, sit down, sit down. I watched the video. It was important for you to show yourself as the master of the situation and to humiliate Jews. Well, Ahmad Tibi, you are not the master here, because this is not your home!" Feiglin stated.

Feiglin further asserted that the Land of Israel belongs exclusively to Jews. He added that non-Jews who accept this are welcome, but the country will never be a national home for them. "The national home in the Land of Israel belongs only to the Jewish people," he declared.

Concluding his remarks, Feiglin told Tibi, "If you don't like it, you can go back to where your family came from, to Syria. Don't like it? Get out of here!" The Zehut party also issued a statement saying, "The era of concessions to provocations by supporters of terror has ended."
