Paying for Palestinian flags: Lieberman cuts Ben Gurion's funding
News » Arab-Israeli conflict
Israeli media reports that Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman is exploring the possibility of reducing funding for Ben Gurion University.
Earlier this week, a video appeared online showing dozens of Bedouin students waving Palestinian flags on campus on Nakba Day.
Lieberman said: “We will not tolerate what we saw at the University Ben Gurion. At the demonstration at the University, things were said that denied the existence of the State of Israel. Therefore, I gave orders to study the behavior of the university in order to apply my authority to reduce its budget”.
