The chairwoman of the Labor Party, MK Merav Michaeli, on Sunday evening made a connection between the Jewish rioters in the village of Huwara and the right-wing ministers in the government.
The riots broke out following the terrorist attack in which brothers Hillel and Yagel Yaniv were murdered.
"The terrorists who are roaming around Hawara, setting fire and destroying everything in their path, are imbibing their legitimacy from senior members of this government. There is a reason that most of them are dawdling in condemning the organizers of the pogrom. This metastasis that threatens the country needs to be stopped as soon as possible, before it leads us to complete destruction," Michaeli wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, opposition leader Yair Lapid linked Minister Bezalel Smotrich to the clashes between Jews and Arabs in Huwara.
"Smotrich's militias set out to burn Huwara in order to torpedo the summit in Aqaba of Netanyahu and Gallant. This government is dangerous for Israel's security," Lapid wrote on Twitter.
Security forces late on Sunday evening were able to calm the situation in Huwara by using gas and stun grenades to disperse the rioters. Three Jews were injured from rocks thrown at them by Palestinian Arabs and two more were injured from the gas grenades used by security forces.
