The Arab deputy in the Knesset Issawi Freij commented on the threat of head of internal parliamentary committee David Amsalem that the “Law of Return was promised only to the Jews and not the Arabs, and who does not like it can search for another state,” saying that “Amsalem is rude and racist and he revealed the true face of the law by expelling Arabs from the country. “
This happened within a vote of the General Authority for the Israeli Knesset, on Monday, extending “citizenship” law (Amendment No. 13), where the MP Freij response to Amsalem saying: “Here is my land and my home and I have no place except my country.”

He added that “the state can go to court against any person claiming that he is a danger to it and there is no need to enact a sweeping and unjust law like this.”
He says that “the citizenship is a legitimate right and international law prohibits keeping a person without citizenship, but the far-right deputies are competing on who is more racist and hatred through the initiative of this law.”
