"Israel Our Home" party chairman Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday said that the law should be enforced on Arab Knesset (Parliament) Members, who travel to Arab countries and meet with representatives of Hizbullah and Hamas.
 

"All those inciters and collaborators who sit in this house should bear the full punishment. The Second World War ended when the heads of the Nazi regime were executed, and I hope that is the fate of the collaborators in this fate," he said, according to Ynetnews.

 

Lieberman is considered the rising star of Israel's extreme right-wing. He was born in 1958 in Moldova and immigrated to Israel in 1978.
