Yousef Jabareen, head of the Joint List, warned in a Knesset speech on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing incitement against Arab citizens and their representatives could lead to serious attacks. Jabareen stated that Netanyahu remains "stuck on the balcony of incitement" since the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and that his current rhetoric poses a danger to Arab citizens, necessitating his removal from power.
Jabareen recalled Netanyahu standing on a balcony on the eve of Rabin's assassination, asserting that the prime minister is still fixated on that same incitement. He called for a joint Arab-Jewish front for peace, equality, and democracy to bring Netanyahu down from that "balcony," as was achieved in the 1990s.
Describing Netanyahu's recent speech, Jabareen said he heard a "wounded animal that has lost all control and restraint, dripping venom and hatred" towards the Arab community, Arab voters, and the Joint List. He cautioned about the real-world consequences of this incitement, citing a recent attack on Arab students from Kfar Yasif and the actions of "Kahaneists" in the city of Lod.
Jabareen emphasized that this unchecked incitement endangers the safety of Arab citizens and that it is time to put an end to it.
