MK Yasser Houjirat (Ra'am) said Wednesday night that when Mansour Abbas led the party, every demolition of an illegal structure was halted. The statement is a rare public defense of Abbas's effectiveness on the demolition issue.
MK Yasser Houjirat (Ra'am) stated Wednesday night that when former party chairman Mansour Abbas was in charge, every demolition of an illegal building was halted. 'When Mansour Abbas was pounding on the table – every demolition (of an illegal house) was halted,' Houjirat said. The remarks come amid ongoing political controversy over Ra'am's stance on illegal construction in the Negev and its ties to terror groups, as previously reported by The Zioneer. Houjirat's statement is a notable defense of Abbas's leadership on this specific issue, though it does not address the broader allegations against Abbas.
