'Despicable blood libel’: Jabareen slams Netanyahu over Ra’am Election Day arrests report

The Prime Minister’s Office called the N12 report “false,” saying Chief of Staff Ido Norden only connected a source with criminal information to the police.

Joint List leader Yousef Jabareen said on Sunday that a new investigative report raised “a grave suspicion of an attempted regime coup by Netanyahu,” after N12 reported that people close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are suspected of involvement in the Election Day arrests of three Ra'am activists.“Tonight's shocking exposé raises a grave suspicion of an attempted regime coup by Netanyahu, through the criminal use of the police against the Arab public and its leaders,” Jabareen wrote on X. “The report on the demand to wiretap Arab MKs through the Shin Bet deepens the severity of the matter even further. This is conduct characteristic of dark regimes.”He called on Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara to immediately order an investigation into Netanyahu and his office.“While the Arab public showed responsibility for its fate and went out en masse to exercise its right to vote, according to the exposé, Netanyahu's office was busy fabricating an ugly and despicable blood libel against it,” he said. “If the findings are verified, this is a criminal mechanism that operated from the heart of government to skew the election results. Anyone found responsible must be held accountable, including Netanyahu.”החשיפה המטלטלת הערב מעלה חשד חמור לניסיון להפיכה משטרית מצד נתניהו, באמצעות שימוש פלילי במשטרה נגד הציבור הערבי ומנהיגיו.
