Israeli minister calls for arrests

Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir called on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, October 29, for the arrest of leaders of Arab political parties. These leaders are under accusations of receiving foreign support, following their strong performance in recent legislative elections.

Arab party leader rejects claims

Ansour Abbas, the leader of the Joint Arab List, denied the accusations made by the camp of Benjamin Netanyahu. He emphasized that the claims are unfounded and aimed at undermining the political influence of Arab parties in Israel.

Context of the legislative elections

The recent legislative elections marked a historic score for Arab parties, who gained significant representation in the Knesset, Israel's parliament. This outcome has sparked political tensions and raised concerns about the influence of external actors in Israeli politics.
