Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas referred to the flag parade and said it would have been better to cancel it due to fears it would lead to an escalation. "The flag parade in Jerusalem today is a restrained provocation, the essence of which is shouts of hatred and incitement to violence, and an attempt to set the area on fire for political purposes," Abbas said. "The Minister of Internal Security and the police should have abolished it. I call on all parties not to be dragged into escalation and to maintain maximum restraint."



According to the chairman of the RAAM, "there is no doubt that the goal of the march's initiators is to challenge the new government and exhaust it in a series of explosive events in the near future, "Between the two Israeli and Palestinian peoples ، who realize the vision we strive for: achieving peace, mutual security, partnership and tolerance between the two peoples. This is the only vision that can put an end to a bloody conflict."
