Baraka emphasized that the Palestinians in the 1948 occupied lands “must be prepared to face the coming dangers threatening them,” with regard to the Jewish nation-state law, their presence in the Negev, and their national and civil rights.
“This election has produced a government that will be more dangerous than its predecessors, which will affect our people, the future of the conflict, and the regional stability,” he added.
He also highlighted the importance of the Arab follow-up committee’s role in mobilizing the Arab masses to confront a series of potential Israeli political battles. (T/P008/P3)
