Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas welcomed the decision by the Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, to investigate suspicions of illegal attempts to influence elections through foreign funding. Abbas stated that upholding the integrity of elections and the rule of law is a civic and democratic duty for Ra'am. He emphasized that the party has no connection to the alleged affair or any other matters, and pledged full cooperation with law enforcement agencies to uncover the truth.
Responding to accusations, presumably from Likud, that he employs "Qatari agents" and is engaged in a campaign of incitement and delegitimization against Arab citizens, Abbas retorted, "There will be nothing, because there is nothing." He contrasted this with the accuser's statements, asserting that Ra'am speaks the truth while the other side spreads lies.
