Joint List MK: Netanyahu as PM is responsible for ‘bloodshed’ in Arab communities

Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi dismisses Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statement condemning recent violence in Arab localities and calling on Arab Israeli leaders to work with authorities to combat it.

“Following days of silence in the face of acts of murder and protests across the country, Netanyahu remembered to put out a statement to fulfill his obligation,” Tibi says in a statement.

“Netanyahu as prime minister is responsible for the bloodshed,” he adds.

The Joint List lawmaker says, however, that the fact that Netanyahu issued a statement indicates that Arab protests against violence are having an effect.
