The southern Israeli Islamic celebration, Ra’am, selected Sunday to freeze its membership in Israel’s coalition authorities in protest in opposition to Israeli aggression in opposition to Al Aqsa Mosque, the Center East Monitor reported.

This choice adopted immense strain exerted on the celebration after the Israeli raids and violence in Al Aqsa Mosque.

The Arab-majority Joint Checklist celebration mocked Ra’am’s choice and mentioned it was freezing its membership within the Knesset and coalition for 2 weeks, whereas the federal government is in recess.

Ayman Odeh, head of the Arab majority Joint Checklist celebration, tweeted: “Not coming to the Knesset throughout recess. A dramatic choice.”

The Joint Checklist’s Ofer Cassif, a Jewish member of the Arab coalition, mentioned: “Ra’am’s announcement of freezing their membership within the coalition in the course of the Knesset’s recess is like saying a weight-reduction plan throughout Ramadan.”
