Odeh: Plan gives green light to revoke citizenship of Arab citizens of Israel

Head of the Joint List, MK Ayman Odeh, says of the US peace proposal’s acceptance of a potential redrawing of borders that would turn Israeli Arab towns into part of Palestine: “This is the inevitable end-point of Trump and Bibi’s racist agenda, a green light to revoke the citizenship of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arab citizens who live in northern Israel.

“We are at a crossroads. All of us — Arab and Jewish — who believe in democracy and peace must decide to stand together and refuse to allow these despots to strip our brothers and sisters of their citizenship.”
