Odeh: Hidden cameras part of ‘right-wing offensive’ against Arab Israelis
Joint (Arab) List MK Ayman Odeh weighs in on the ruling Likud party’s criticism of Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s legal opinion stating the placement of concealed cameras at polling stations could be illegal.
“Even the attorney general understands that placing cameras at polling stations is part of the all-out right-wing offensive against Arab citizens and the delegitimization of the [Arab] political leadership,” Odeh writes on Twitter.
He also charges that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who heads Likud, is afraid of Arab Israelis.
“Bibi, you’re scared of Arabs but we’re not scared of you. We won’t give into the intimidation tactics of government of incitement and hatred,” Odeh says.
