Dr. Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List, has denied any connection between his party and suspicions of foreign funding aimed at illicitly influencing elections. He welcomed the decision by the head of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, to investigate these allegations.

In a statement responding to the accusations, Abbas emphasized that upholding the integrity of elections and the rule of law is a civic and democratic duty for the United Arab List. He reiterated that his party has no involvement in the mentioned issue or any other related matters, expressing readiness to fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies to uncover the truth.

Conversely, Abbas directed criticism at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to him as "Abu Yair." Abbas accused Netanyahu of employing Qatari agents in his office and of leading a campaign of incitement and delegitimization against Arab citizens.

Responding to this alleged campaign, Abbas stated, "There will be nothing, because there is nothing." He added that this stance, unlike what he described as Netanyahu's practices, reflects the truth rather than "another lie."
