Arab Meretz MK calls for calm, urges Joint List MKs, Arab leaders to join him

Reacting to the ongoing riots in mixed Arab-Jewish cities across Israel, Meretz MK Isawi Frej tells the Kan public broadcaster that “anyone who calls themself a public figure in Arab society must call for restoring calm.”

“I call on [the Joint List’s] Ahmad Tibi, Ayman Odeh along with Arab mayors: This is the test of your leadership. Don’t hide. Don’t only speak out during elections. It’s your job to go out and influence.”
