Member of Knesset Ahmad Darawsheh, in his inaugural address to the Knesset plenum, condemned the rise in attacks against Arab youth, which he stated occur simply for speaking Arabic. He asserted that speaking Arabic is a fundamental right and vowed not to remain silent in the face of racist incitement. Darawsheh attributed the escalation of racism to what he termed the "incitement government" and "inciting media," singling out Channel 14 as a primary contributor to fueling racism in workplaces, among medical teams, and in public spaces. He announced his intention to advance legislative initiative aimed at increasing penalties for racist assaults and providing compensation to victims. Darawsheh called on fellow Knesset members who believe in justice and human rights to support this initiative, emphasizing his commitment to effecting change rather than merely voicing his opinions in the Knesset.
