The Joint List in Nazareth has strongly condemned an alleged assault by police officers on Abdul Karim Azzam, a candidate for the United Arab List. In a statement, the Joint List described the incident as a "serious blow to political and democratic freedoms," asserting it is part of a broader pattern of intimidation and restrictions on political activity within the Arab community. The group views the event not as isolated but as symptomatic of political trends aimed at curtailing Arab political engagement.
The statement further criticized the Minister of Internal Security, whom it referred to as the "biggest thug," accusing him of fostering a culture of thuggery within the police force. The Joint List argued that the police, intended to protect citizens, have instead become instruments of intimidation and rights violations.
To counter these alleged policies of terror, repression, and political persecution, the Joint List urged adherence to rights and strengthening the political presence of the Arab community. They called on residents of Nazareth to participate extensively in the upcoming elections on October 27, aiming to boost the community's strength, representation in the Knesset, and its ability to advocate for its rights and issues.
