Just last Thursday, Bnei Sakhnin received a notification from the Ministry of Economy about the closure of Doha Stadium, due to a breach of the facility's business license.
The violation came after the league game against Beitar Jerusalem, one of the unoccupied stands with 1,700 seats, was filled to capacity.
Tonight (Tuesday) Mazen Ghanaim, a Knesset member on behalf of the RAAM party, who also previously served as the group's chairman, decided to protest in the Knesset about the closure of the field and the conduct of the police, when he said in a short one-and-a-half minute speech: , Bnei Sakhnin, and Betar Jerusalem.
On the lawn was a score of 10 for the professional, managerial team, the audience and of course the players.
I was surprised that a minute after the game, the police acted irresponsibly.

"Rubber bullets, tear gas at children and women. I thought to myself, 'Why is this happening? After all, in Sakhnin there are children and teenagers who contribute a great deal to eradicating the phenomenon of violence and crime in Arab society," said a MK from the RAAM party.
Ghanaim continued: "On May 18, 2004, this team won the State Cup and represented Arab society with dignity. The question is, what would have happened in Sakhnin would have happened in Netanya, Haifa or Beer Sheva. When we talk about eradicating the phenomenon of violence in Arab society, That is the height of the violence. "
