Ra'am Chairman Abbas denies Likud allegations of Qatari funding, vows full cooperation with probe

Ra'am Chairman MK Mansour Abbas responded to Likud's claims about "Qatari money," stating his party welcomes the Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg's decision to investigate suspicions of unlawful foreign funding influence on elections. Abbas emphasized Ra'am has no connection to the affair and will fully cooperate with law enforcement. He countered allegations by referencing "Abu Yair" (a nickname for Netanyahu) who "employs Qatari agents in his office," stating "there will be nothing, because there is nothing" and calling Likud's actions a campaign of incitement against Arab citizens.
