Arab MK prays for Holocaust victims, offers solidarity with all Jews

Joint List MK Mansour Abbas also addresses the parliament’s Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony.

“I offer a prayer from the Quran for the souls of the six million killed in the Holocaust,” says Abbas. “As a Palestinian Arab and a religious Muslim… I have empathy for the pain and suffering over the years of Holocaust survivors and the families of the victims. I stand here and express my solidarity with the Jewish people here and around the world, the people singled out by the Nazis as a target for genocide and mass murder.”
