Decision to skip Peres’s funeral is complex, says Arab MK

Arab MK Aida Touma-Suleiman says the decision by members of the Joint (Arab) List faction to skip Peres’s funeral was a complex one.

“We are expressing a position that represents complex issues, it is not black and white,” she tells Army Radio. “We both remember all the wrongs, and that Peres signed the Oslo Accords. We also remember that Peres was the one who managed the negotiations with the leaders of the Arab population.”
