Abbas stated he would appear for questioning if required, but urged authorities to respect election results. "The attempt to tarnish the Arab public is unacceptable," Abbas said. He added that he and all Ra'am members "are not afraid of any investigation and are prepared to appear before all law enforcement authorities, in accordance with the directives of the Attorney General and the justice system, which have proven time and again that they are subject to the law and not to other political factors."
