The heads of the Arab authorities are calling for a boycott of a meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The meeting was initiated by the chairman of the Center for Local Government, Haim Bibbs, in coordination with the chairman of the committee of heads of the Arab authorities in Israel, Mod Yunis, who is also the head of the local council.
Heads of authorities serving in senior positions on the committee attacked the meeting on social media and demanded that it be canceled.
According to them, this is a political exploitation of the incompetence of the government in the fight against violence.
At this time, the committee of heads of the Arab authorities is discussing the issue.
The authorities whose heads refused to attend the meeting: the head of the Kfar Kanna council, the mayor of Sakhnin, the mayor of Araba, the head of the Kochav Abu al-Higa council, the mayor of Tira.
On the other hand, a number of local authorities, whose players have previously identified with the Likud and supported Bibbs, are pressuring to hold the meeting.
Bibbs is promoting a proposal to reserve 15% of the Arab authorities' development budget to fund programs to combat violence in Arab communities.
The Arab public is also angry about this, claiming that the budget is meager as well.

He added: "Netanyahu combined Mansour Abbas and abandoned him."
Jaafar Farah, director of the Mossawa Center for Arab Civil Rights in Israel, said that "Bibi is taking advantage of the crisis of violence, and as in 1997 is trying to scrape voices in Arab communities," he said. "She deserves a fight in Corona, industry and transportation. All the heads of the authorities will do well if they wait after the election. The proposal to deduct 15% of the authorities' development budget is simply insolent. The Arab child deserves an equal opportunity for the Jewish child."
"For 13 years Bibi did nothing."
