Joint List leader: Netanyahu's 'test' is following statement with action

Joint List leader Ayman Odeh also weighs in on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s condemnation of deadly violence in Arab communities, saying the true “test” for the premier is following up on his statement with a plan of action.

“It cannot be that 20 percent of the population needs to make a ruckus and block roads for the government to start to deal with the problem that has taken the lives of innocents for so many years already,” Odeh says in a statement.

“I call on the police to act toward demonstrators as citizens, not as enemies,” he continues. “We’ll do everything necessary in order to live in a society without weapons.”
