Herzog: Israel should take in Syrian refugees

Herzog wants to help the Syrians: During a cultural event on Saturday in Tel Aviv the opposition leader MK Yitzchak Herzog addressed the carnage in Syria and exciting European nations and said: "I spoke yesterday with Kamal Labuani, a senior Syrian opposition leader exiled in Europe today. The Syrian opposition has serious allegations against other countries. I call on the Israeli government to carry out a process of absorbing refugees from Syria in addition to humanitarian measures already being made - Jews can not be indifferent when hundreds of thousands of refugees are knocking on a safe haven".

Referring to the state budget which reached a vote this week, Herzog said that "Bibi and Kahlon are handling election economics. This is not how a state budget should look and one doesn't reduce VAT when you know that in a year there will be a pit and you will have to bring it back, what sounds like elections, and quacks like elections, is elections. Elections are at the door and I will lead the large camp in front of Bibi and this time I will win. Bibi will not be able to sell the bluff over the Arabs at the polls twice."

Herzog addressed the severe crisis in the IBA and said: "Anyone who threatens to close the IBA wants a dictatorship in Israel. We are at a moment which is dangerous for democracy. This is a denial of the fundamental values which founded the state. Black light to Israel. The prime minister and his ministers are afraid of criticism. Consider that the Marxist criteria of the Minister of Culture in the morning and in the law shutting people up at night. Abuse of employees must stop – the dangerous threat to freedom of expression, the public's right to know and the right of journalists to investigate and deepen are signs of dark regimes. Netanyahu should take his hands out of telecommunications market immediately. From Channel 10, IBA, from control of daily newspapers - Netanyahu is whining about the media in a newspaper that he has a tycoon paying for him."
