[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting) It was a middle finger to Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=3) But now, to our main interview tonight with Knesset member Ahmad Tibi.

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=6) Have you already received a summons to be questioned by the Shin Bet?

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=8) No, so I came to be questioned here by you.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=10) Oh, wow. Yes, please. You put a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. Please, yes.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=14) But has anyone from the Shin Bet or the legal counsel's office contacted you?

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=18) If you get a summons, will you go in for questioning?

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=20) The head of the Shin Bet tried to commit a serious violation of the law by wanting to question party leaders just because they are Arab party leaders, in violation of the law, with no evidence, nothing.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=36) He claims he has material and evidence. There is no material, none, none.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=39) I'm telling you, anyone who claims there is a connection between Arab party leaders and corruption in the elections, election bribery, is a liar.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=49) Anyone who claims that is a liar, and is trying to delegitimize an entire community that went out to v-v-vote.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=58) You know why? As an act of self-defense.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=61) It was a middle finger to Ben Gvir and Smotrich, and an outstretched hand for change and creating hope.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=68) Are Arabs allowed to go out and vote? They're trying to intimidate the Arab public.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=73) We won't accept this attempt to intimidate us.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=77) We are a legitimate community. We want to be part of the change.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=81) We want to change this grim reality and send Netanyahu packing. Let's talk.

[1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/tBedoBAsRkLs/en/ahmad-tibi-rejects-election-bribery-claims-and-defends-arab-voting?t=86) Is that clear or not? Let's talk about what's happening.
