Member of Knesset Aiman Odeh, who chairs the Joint List of predominantly Arab parties, said on Sunday afternoon, "In all the years in which I have been an MK, I have made sure to attend the plenary session in memory of Yitzhak Rabin. Sadly this year, I was prevented from arriving to honor the memory of a brave leader who refused to submit to the anti-democratic stance that decisions must rely upon a Jewish majority."
Writing on Twitter, Odeh continued, "He took courageous steps and was murdered for promoting equality and peace, and for that I admire him.”
