Dupe URL: Ennahda party slams anti-Semitic chants as Haniyeh arrives in Tunisia
TUNIS: The head of Tunisia’s moderate Islamic party has condemned anti-Semitic slogans chanted by a handful of ultraconservatives at the arrival of a top Hamas official.

Rachid Ghannouchi in a statement issued in the early hours of the morning Monday reiterated his party’s policy that Tunisia’s Jews are “full citizens with equal rights and duties.”

The Ennahda Party won a plurality of seats in Tunisia’s new assembly in October’s elections and now heads the ruling coalition.

Videos circulated online showing members of the crowd greeting Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh at the airport on Thursday chanting “kill the Jews” and “crush the Jews.” The chants came from Salafists that have been making their presence felt in Tunisia recently.
