Likud Lawmaker Says Israel and Jewish People 'Not Like Everyone Else'
Hanoch Milwidsky said his political mission is to build a Jewish state "worthy of Jews," according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
A lawmaker from Israel's governing Likud party, Hanoch Milwidsky, said that laws applying to other nations "cannot apply" to Israel and the Jewish people, according to a report published by Anadolu Agency.
"We are not like everyone else," Milwidsky was quoted as saying, according to the report.
The Likud lawmaker described his political mission as establishing a Jewish state "worthy of Jews," the report said, with Milwidsky emphasizing what he characterized as the distinctiveness of the Jewish people.
Anadolu Agency did not specify in the excerpt the context, venue or date of Milwidsky's remarks. Likud, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is the largest party in Israel's current governing coalition.
Reuters and other international outlets could not immediately be confirmed as having independently corroborated the remarks attributed to Milwidsky. EGazette has reached out to Likud for comment but has not yet received a response.
This is a developing story and may be updated as further details become available.
