Ra’am party head Mansour Abbas cautions Israeli citizens to cool internal tensions, amid several isolated incidents of internal cross-community violence and intimidation.
“I turn to Israel’s Arab and Jewish citizens to… adhere to the law and maintain civil order and don’t be provoked by every act of violence,” Abbas says, adding that 20 Arab Israelis were killed by Hamas during the October 7 terror onslaught.
“Be careful before everything that you write on social media… especially those posts that violate the law or raise emotions,” Abbas says, perhaps alluding to the state prosecutor stepping up issuing indictments for incitement.
