The mayor of Migdal Haemek, Eli Barda, told the heads of both Jewish and Arab authorities in northern Israel that "Every authroity head must take care that to prevent incitement in his city, because it takes root among residents and is hard to change."

"We must give a message to leaders to stop the incitement from the Palestinian Authority and the Arab MKs who are harming the joint infrastructure and the human fabric," he added.
