Mansour Abbas, chairman of the United Arab List (Ra'am), has responded to allegations of Qatari interference in elections and claims that voters were bribed to vote for his party. Abbas stated that upholding the integrity of elections and the rule of law is a civic and democratic duty for Ra'am. He categorically denied any connection between his party and the alleged bribery or other related affairs.
"Ra'am has no connection to the affair in question or to other affairs," Abbas declared. He affirmed the party's full cooperation with all legal authorities to uncover the truth. Abbas also directly addressed the accusations, stating, "To Abu Yair, 'there will be nothing, because there is nothing.' For us, this is the truth and not another lie."
Abbas's statement appears to be a direct response to criticism or accusations, possibly from political rivals, using a well-known Israeli idiom to assert innocence and dismiss the allegations as baseless. The phrase "Ein clum, ki ein clum" (there will be nothing, because there is nothing) is often used to suggest that an investigation or accusation is unfounded.
