Joint List Condemns Ra'am Official for Remarks on Arab Candidate
The Joint List has issued a strong condemnation of Yoav Saglowitz, the second-ranked candidate on the Ra'am party list, for his remarks regarding Sami Abu Shehadeh, a candidate for the Joint List. The Joint List accused Saglowitz of implicitly supporting the disqualification of Abu Shehadeh and joining a campaign led by Itamar Ben-Gvir and other Kahanists against Arab political representation.
The Joint List stated that Saglowitz's comments, described as vague, effectively supported efforts to silence Arab voices in the Knesset. The party is demanding that Ra'am's leadership clarify Saglowitz's statements and take an explicit stance on the disqualification of Abu Shehadeh.
Despite existing political disagreements with Ra'am, the Joint List emphasized its principled opposition to what it termed racist exclusion policies targeting Arab citizens and their right to elect representatives. The Joint List also referenced a signed code of honor between the parties, which prohibits attacks and accusations of treason, questioning whether Saglowitz is bound by this agreement.
The Joint List further characterized Saglowitz's remarks as exceeding mere political sparring, equating them to joining a fascist incitement campaign against their candidates and the Arab vote, and supporting racist exclusion.
