Husseini criticizes exclusion of Arabs from Israeli government

The Palestinian official in charge of the Jerusalem issue, Faisel al-Husseini, said he considered excluding the Arab-Israelis in Israel from the governmental coalition formed by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is a continuation of the racism in Israel. Husseini told ArabicNews.com that what happened is predictable and is the Israeli mentality. He added, "Our happiness is not for Barak's winning but for Netanyahu's fall."
