FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

New Israeli Arab political party

Israeli Arabs were sick and tired of Arab Knesset members working on behalf of Palestinians rather than addressing their concerns.

Arab officials and activists have recently been working to create a political party that will focus on Arab communities in Israel and its relations with the government, rather than on Palestinian issues.

The party’s platform is different from other existing Arab party platforms, such as the National Democratic Assembly, Raam-Taal and Hadash, which concentrate their efforts primarily on nationalist issues and the rights of the Palestinians in the territories.

Throughout last week, senior Arab leaders met with the committee leading the new party to discuss the party’s platform, including issues of housing and employment among the general Arab-Israeli public.

“Current Arab Knesset members are interested only in matters relating to the Palestinians and the events in Arab countries,” a representative of the Arab community and board member of the new party said. “Officials elected by the public to the Knesset are more often abroad than in the streets

of Arab towns and villages in Israel, and it’s time to change that.”

The Council decided that the party would be headed by a member of the Likud Central Committee Ataf al-Krenawi, resident in the southern city of Rahat and a popular figure among Israeli Arabs.

“In the coming days, we will launch our campaign that will reach all Arab homes in Israel.

We want to make a change, provide better education among Israeli Arabs, stop violence and gunfire, provide more jobs for the unemployed and provide more affordable housing for young couples. Many people in Arab communities are fed up with the way Arab parties have behaved so far,” he said.
