Likud's Nissim Vaturi Calls MK Naama Lazimi Worse Than Hamas
Nissim Vaturi, the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and member of the Likud party, sharply criticized MK Naama Lazimi from the Democratic Party during a Thursday morning interview with Kol Barama. Vaturi stated that Lazimi could run for the leadership of Hamas in Gaza, implying she is unfit to operate within Israel. He said, "Listen to her speech," suggesting her rhetoric aligns with hostile elements.
Vaturi further emphasized that he sees no difference between Lazimi and Hamas, asserting that internal threats to Israel are even more dangerous than external ones. "Those who harm the State of Israel from within are worse," he said, highlighting his view that enemies inside the country pose a significant risk.
This confrontation reflects ongoing political tensions between the Likud and Democratic parties, especially amid upcoming primaries and debates over national security and loyalty. Vaturi's remarks underline the deep divisions within Israeli politics regarding internal dissent and opposition figures.
