Yousef Jabareen, chairman of the Joint List political alliance, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "racist blood libel" after Netanyahu alleged that Palestinians "stole" the elections, Middle East Eye reported. Jabareen's statement came as a direct response to Netanyahu's claims regarding Palestinian involvement in electoral fraud.
The accusation reflects escalating tensions between Netanyahu and the Joint List, which represents Palestinian citizens of Israel. Jabareen characterized Netanyahu's allegations as a familiar antisemitic trope repurposed against Palestinians.
