His original demand sparked anger among Palestinians and Arabs: In an interview, the head of the conservative Islamist Ram Party demanded that Hamas lay down its weapons. The party leadership should intervene – put forward the statement.
According to media reports, the conservative Islamist Ram Party in Israel is calling for the disarmament of extremist Palestinian groups such as Hamas. According to Israeli media, the party insisted that the handover of arms should take place only after the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Earlier, party leader Mansour Abbas in a CNN interview demanded that Palestinian militant groups lay down their arms and join forces with the Palestinian Authority to demand a Palestinian state alongside Israel. According to media reports, Mansour meant that a Palestinian state would disarm even militant groups.
His initial claim in a CNN interview published Thursday sparked outrage among Palestinians and Arabs. According to media reports, he is the first Arab politician in Israel to publicly call on militant Palestinian organizations to surrender their weapons. In a CNN interview, Abbas again condemned Hamas massacres in Israel.
All actions against innocent people, children, women and elderly are inhumane and against the values of Islam. There is no justification for this. Abbas said armed Palestinian groups have always failed in the past to use violence as a means to achieve their goals. The price for this is always paid by the Palestinian people – currently in the Gaza war.
The Arab Ram Party was part of the government of Israel’s previous Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Abbas’s decision to join the coalition was seen at the time as a step toward greater integration of the Arab minority, which makes up about 20 percent of Israel’s population. The party later withdrew from the coalition following clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians at the Temple Mount.
The eight-party coalition eventually collapsed due to ideological differences. The party currently holds five seats in the 120-member Israeli parliament. About four percent of Israelis voted for the party in an election a year ago.
