Jerusalem - Arab Israeli lawmakers reacted with outrage Friday to remarks by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, in which she said the "national solution" for Israel's Arab citizens would be a future Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.
"These (things) have been said before, but this time it is more severe because they are said by a candidate for the premiership," Ahmed Tibi, of the United Arab List
(UAL) which has four mandates in the 120-seat Knesset, told Israel Radio.
Calling the remarks "painful," he accused Livni of pandering to right-wing voters.
