MK Itamar Ben Gvir (Religious Zionism) appealed to the Attorney General demanding an investigation into the mayor of Umm al-Fahm.

"This is not to be believed - the mayor of Umm al-Fahm, issued a condolence message to the two terrorists who carried out the attack in Hadera. I have asked the AG to investigate the mayor for support of terrorists, and the Interior Minister to initiate proceedings for dismissing the mayor completely."
