Get email notification for articles from Michael Hauser Tov Follow May. 17, 2021 11:43 PM Officials in United Arab List Chairman Mansour Abbas’ inner circle recounted on Monday that over the past 24 hours, the party leader has faced calls for his resignation following his visit to the central city of Lod, which has been a flash point for violence between Jews and Arabs over the past week. On Sunday Abbas visited Lod as well as the Beit Yisrael synagogue in the city - one of the houses of worship that was set on fire during clashes. During the visit, Abbas met with Lod Mayor Yair Revivo, pledged to aid in rehabilitating the city and said, “even in times of war, Islamic values forbid harming holy places. Just as we are angry when someone attacks a mosque, we are angry when someone attacks a synagogue, and especially if the attack came from Muslims. It was a mistake. We must begin rehabilitating the synagogue in Lod.”
