Jewish Home party threatens to leave gov

The leader of an Israeli party that has joined Netanyahu Coalition government has threatened to leave the coalition over the latter's failure to put a stop on the Palestinian knife operations.

Yenon Megal has asked for ever harsher punishments for the Palestinian activists who stage knife attacks across the occupied West Bank and Quds ('Jerusalem'), including deportation of their families and declaration of military rule in operation areas.

Megal who leads the so-called 'Jewish Home' party has threatened to step aside amid threats by the Israeli Agriculture Minister, Yuri Ariel to leave the government in protest at the decision to deliver to next of kin the bodies of the knife attackers who are executed on spot extra judicially by the Zionist regime's army.
