                  Arab parties angry that election slip printer is in settlement

                  23.02.2015, Israel

                  The Joint List expressed disappointment after the printer for election slips was revealed to be in Karnei Shomron, a settlement in Samaria, Sunday.
                  "It's long been clear that the Netanyahu government is the settlement government," The Joint List of Arab parties' spokeswoman said. "Are there not enough printers inside the Green Line?"
                  The Central Election Committee confirmed that Israphot Ltd. won the tender to print the slips of paper on which parties' names and letters representing them are printed, and that it is the sole printer of the slips.
                  "They're Israeli; there's an Israeli flag there," a committee spokesman said of the printer.
                  Religious-Zionist news site Srugim posted a video on Sunday of all 26 party names being printed on one sheet of paper, which will later be cut and sent to polling places.
                  Meretz leader Zehava Gal-On boycotts settlement products, but she did not respond by press time.
