Knesset Approves Arab Affairs Committee to Be Chaired by Ra'

MK Mansour Abbas, head of the Ra'am party, April 19, 2021.
The Knesset Plenum Monday evening approved by a vote of 57 to 1, with 15 abstentions, the Arrangements Committee’s decision to form a Special Committee on Arab Society Affairs, chaired by MK Mansour Abbas (Ra’am).
Addressing the formation of the special committee, MK Esawi Frej (Meretz) said, “I can’t believe what I’m hearing. I am a citizen of the State of Israel, and the Arrangements Committee decided that it wants me to be a subject, not a citizen… Imagine that in the United States a committee on the affairs of the Jews would be established. This is a dark day for Arab society, because some of my colleagues, Arab members of Knesset, had a hand in this.”
