RAAM Chairman Mansour Abbas said Monday that the decision of the Al-Shura Council, the top council on the list, to freeze RAAM membership in the coalition and the Knesset, passed last night, could end either in overthrowing the government or changing Israeli policy. In Jerusalem.
In an interview with McCann Radio, Abbas said that “the decision to freeze the decision made may deepen towards the end of the partnership completely, but it can also go in the other direction, of changing policy and adopting new decisions that correspond with our positions not to invade the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
He added that “we are waiting for answers. What will the government do next and how will it handle the events.” Abbas further said that the freeze will continue even after the Knesset recess. He said, “The decision to freeze membership in the Knesset and the coalition is not only during the holiday but also after it. We do not underestimate the intelligence of the voters, we will not move from our positions.”
“When the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is violated,” the chairman of Ra’am added, “and we see images of attacks on worshipers, clerics and the elderly, on the United Arab List to make a clear and explicit decision to inform the government “And all the possibilities before it are open.”
Responding to criticism of the unified list by members of the joint list, Abbas said that “the joint list should meet its responsibility. The question is whether their responsibility amounts to going out to the media and launching slogans, or have a political role they play. We see that everything they do comes only in response. To the positions and policies of RAAM.
