The Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel and the National Committee of Heads of Arab Local Authorities convened an emergency meeting in Tuba Zangariyya on Tuesday, calling for a complete revelation of facts surrounding the case of a Bar-Ilan University lecturer. The lecturer faces charges for allegedly planning "terrible terrorist operations including the murder of hundreds of Arab citizens." The two-hour meeting included speeches by Dr. Jamal Zahalka, head of the Follow-up Committee, Mazen Ghunaym, head of the National Committee, and Tuba Zangariyya Council head Mu'ayyad Al-Hayb, along with representatives from Arab political parties and local authorities.
Decisions made at the meeting were divided into three levels. Judicially, participants agreed to monitor the lecturer's trial, attend sessions to ensure transparency, and work with the Adalah Legal Center to urge the Attorney General to investigate and indict those involved in racist incitement. They emphasized that the case demonstrates how incitement can escalate into horrific criminal acts. The group also resolved to use all available legal means to demand a full disclosure of facts, the formation of an impartial investigative committee, and the questioning of officials regarding alleged manipulation of the investigation.
Politically, the attendees agreed to send a memorandum to embassies detailing the dangerous situation faced by Arab citizens due to escalating anti-Arab racism, which has reached the point of planning mass murder. They also decided to send letters to the Council of University Presidents and Bar-Ilan University calling for a firm stance against racism on campus and regarding the lecturer's case.
On a popular level, the meeting urged the strengthening and activation of popular committees and the establishment of new ones in communities lacking them. Emphasis was placed on enhancing coordination between these committees and local authority emergency rooms to manage urgent situations.
