Israel is behind the violence in Israeli Arab society, says Israeli Arab journalist and PA TV

Israeli Arab journalist Suheil Diab: “The official Israeli policy [is] to escalate every conflict and every tension in the Palestinian public in the Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel), and I want to say, not just in the Interior. There are those who speak about exporting this practice of strengthening the crime gangs to the occupied areas in the West Bank.They want to escalate every internal conflict, whether it is familial, tribal, or ethnic.”

Official PA TV host: “The idea has been understood, and we must make all efforts as you noted to stand against the organized crime, whose goal is to dismantle the Arab public in the Interior.”
