Arab Knesset Members Silent on October 7 Anniversary
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
Three years after the October 7 massacre, a review found no public statements of remembrance for victims from Arab Knesset factions Ra'am and the Joint List. While Israel marked the anniversary, these parties focused on the Gaza war, calling it "genocide." Yoav Segalovitz, a recent Ra'am addition, also remained silent on the anniversary.

Three years after the October 7 massacre, a review by Channel 14 found no public statements of remembrance for the victims or solidarity with their families from Ra'am, the Joint List, or their senior officials. This stands in contrast to Israel's commemoration of the victims on the anniversary. Yoav Segalovitz, who recently joined Ra'am, also did not post any reference to the three-year mark, despite having previously addressed the October 7 events and the victims. Instead, the Joint List focused on the war in Gaza, calling to end what they termed "genocide in Gaza." In one post, the list quoted Guy, a resident of Nirim, who stated that the only future lies in a partnership between Jewish Israelis, Arabs, and Palestinians, asserting that "eternal war is impossible."
