Ra’am leader Mansour Abbas says flag parade ‘an unrestrained provocation’

Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas is slamming this evening’s flag parade as “an unrestrained provocation… an attempt to ignite the region for political purposes.”

“There is no doubt that the goal of the parade initiators is to challenge the new government and exhaust it in a series of explosive events in the near future, and to take us back to an unnecessary escalation that will endanger human lives as we have experienced in the past month,” he says in a statement, referring to the recent violence following last month’s flag parade.

He says authorities should have canceled the march.
