Yosef Jabareen, head of the Joint List party, spoke out against a new Israeli settlement outpost established on the lands of the Arab town of Majd al-Krum in the "Al-Rous" area. Jabareen emphasized the urgent need for broad popular unity to confront and prevent the expansion of this settlement plan to other regions.
He stated that warnings about plans to Judaize the Galilee and Negev, and to transfer the settlement outpost model from the West Bank to these areas, have now become a reality. Jabareen called for a unified popular response to counter this development.
Jabareen asserted that the struggle is over the existence of Arab communities, their right to develop and expand, and the prevention of further land confiscation. He also highlighted the need to stop attempts to sever geographical connections between Arab towns and alter the demographic makeup of the region.
"We are facing a major test, and we must thwart this plan," Jabareen declared, vowing to continue popular protests alongside the residents of Majd al-Krum to prevent the outpost from becoming a fait accompli. He was joined at the site by other Joint List members, including MK Ofer Cassif, and local officials and residents.
