MK Mansour Abbas (Ra'am) appeared at a conference that included senior representatives of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to a report by the 'Choosing Life' forum aired on Channel 14's Omri Haim program Monday evening. The revelation follows initial reporting The Zioneer carried at 22:15.
Monday night's report by the 'Choosing Life' forum, broadcast on Channel 14, expands on earlier coverage: Mansour Abbas, leader of the Ra'am party, attended a conference alongside senior figures from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Zioneer first reported the development at 22:15 Jerusalem time based on initial excerpts. The current bulletin adds the specific framing by the forum, which described the gathering as an 'anti-Israel conference.' Abbas has not publicly commented; Ra'am has not issued a statement. The precise date and location of the conference are not yet confirmed. The report has drawn criticism from right-wing politicians and activists. The accusation — that a sitting MK from a coalition-ally party appeared with leaders of organizations designated as terrorist by Israel and the United States — is attributed to the forum's claims and remains an allegation at this stage.
