The Member of Knesset specifically addressed accusations from the Likud party that the United Arab List received money from Qatar. In an exclusive statement, the Member of Knesset asserted that any accusations regarding Qatari funding should be directed towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud party, and individuals close to him.
