Left – wing Knesset Member Roman Bronfman (Yachad) said in response to the resignation of Minister of Diaspora and Jerusalem Affairs Natan Sharansky “His resignation constitutes his and his party’s ideological and political bankruptcy.”
“A human rights activist under the Soviet regime has turned here into a fighter for the occupation. Sharansky, who was elected by the new immigrants’ votes, in fact never represented their interests, but rather represented the interests of the settlers and their life work,” he said.
