  • Ra'am alleges right-wing parties are behind the fake campaign to damage its image.

  • Ra'am expressed faith in the Arab public's ability to resist slander.

Signs depicting Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas and his deputy Yoav Segalovitz alongside a pride flag and the Israeli flag have recently been posted across Israel. The signs, which appear to be part of an official Ra'am campaign, show the two men with the flags behind them and the slogan "The New Israeli Story" in Hebrew and "Together We Will Change" in Arabic. Ra'am claimed on Sunday that this is a campaign by right-wing parties intended to damage its image. The advertisements do not state who funded them, which is contrary to election propaganda law.

Ra'am stated that it trusts "in the awareness of the Arab public and its ability to deal with slander." The party accused right-wing parties of fabricating the campaign to harm its reputation.
