The High Follow-Up Committee of the Arab public convened today for an emergency meeting in the municipality of Baqa al-Jarbiyeh following the recent spate of murders in Arab communities
"The issue of violence has become the main issue that preoccupies the Arab public, and we demand a comprehensive plan to combat crime in the Arab communities and to collect all illegal weapons," said MK Yousef Jabareen (Hadash-Taal), who participated in the meeting.
Jabareen also said that "following the intensive crackdown on organized crime in Jewish society and the arrest of most of the heads of the criminal organizations in various cases, there is considerable growth in organized crime in Arab society."
