  • The Umm al-Fahm Front called the police raid a provocative and retaliatory move.
  • This is the second time in recent months police have raided the center and seized Palestinian flags.
  • A campaign manager stated the actions would not deter their support for the Palestinian cause.
  • He vowed a decisive response through votes against Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu.

Police forces raided the electoral headquarters of the Joint List and the party's club in Umm al-Fahm late last night, confiscating Palestinian flags displayed on the building's facade. The Umm al-Fahm Front described the raid as a provocative and retaliatory move.

The front stated that the police action, attributed to Minister of National Security Ben Gvir, occurred amidst intensive preparations by Joint List activists for upcoming elections and a closing rally scheduled for that evening. This marks the second time in recent months that police have raided the center under similar pretenses, having previously confiscated Palestinian flags.

Mohamed Abu Emad Mahamid, Secretary of the Front and campaign manager, asserted that "Ben Gvir's police will not deter us from our duty to support the Palestinian cause, our cause, and our identity." He added that such provocative actions would receive a "clear and decisive response" on election day through votes for the Joint List, aiming to "throw Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and Netanyahu into the dustbin of history."
