The Follow-up Committee for the Arab Community and the Qatari Committee for Heads of Arab Local Authorities have jointly called for a full disclosure of facts surrounding the case of a Bar-Ilan University lecturer indicted for planning mass terrorist attacks against Arab citizens. The demand was made during a joint meeting held on Tuesday, October 6, in Touba-Zangaria.
The two-hour meeting featured speeches from Dr. Jamal Zahalka, head of the Follow-up Committee; Mr. Mazen Ganaim, head of the Qatari Committee; and Attorney Mu'ayyad Al-Hayb, head of the Touba-Zangaria Local Council, with participation from representatives of Arab parties and local authorities.
Several decisions were reached. Judicially, the attendees resolved to monitor the trial of the lecturer, attend court sessions to ensure public oversight, and, in coordination with the Adalah Center, send a letter to the legal advisor urging investigations and indictments against those inciting racism. They emphasized that such incitement can escalate into real crimes, citing the lecturer's case as an example. The participants also agreed to utilize all available legal means to demand a full revelation of facts, the formation of an impartial investigative committee, and the questioning of officials regarding alleged manipulation of the investigation.
Politically, the meeting approved sending a memorandum to embassies to inform them of the dangerous situation faced by Arab citizens due to anti-Arab racist mobilization, which has reached the point of planning mass murder. Messages will also be sent to the Committee of University Presidents and Bar-Ilan University, urging them to combat racism on campus and take a firm stance on the lecturer's case.
On a popular level, participants called for strengthening and activating popular committees and establishing new ones in towns lacking them. They also stressed the need to deepen coordination and joint work between popular committees and local authority emergency rooms to handle urgent situations.
