Top Arab MK: Now is time for unity, fires hurt us too
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJoint (Arab) List leader Ayman Odeh calls for unity in the face of the wave of brush fires burning across Israel, as some officials say the fires were started by those with a “nationalist” agenda.
“Our hearts are broken, now is the time for unity,” Odeh tells Channel 2. “The main thing is to put out the fires.”
He slams accusations that members of the Arab community could be to blame for some of the fires.
“It is a disgrace, Umm al-Fahm is also harmed,” he says. “This is a thing that hurts us all; this is not about Arabs versus Jews. Whoever did this is the enemy of us all.”
