Against the backdrop of the escalating violence in Arab society, which is also affecting candidates in local authority elections, Knesset member Eliyahu Ravivo (Likud) issued a severe warning: "forecast - soon a head of a local authority will be murdered here."
In a post that Ravivo published, he stated: "We still don't know his identity; we don't even know his origin yet. Yes, he could also be Jewish. He doesn't have to be Arab. He himself still doesn't know that he is the target for elimination. When he knows, it will already be too late for him."
"And no, I'm not just trying to scare. It's simply basic logic: It starts with criminals, moves on to random passersby, continues with family members, reaches a municipal CEO who is murdered near a police station, and now candidates in local elections are being shot from all directions. The next stage: heads of authorities. And anyone who thinks this will stay only with the Arabs – think again. It won't stay there. It is already seeping into the Jewish street. A clear and ominous sign of this, we saw in the mixed cities during the riots of 2021."
