An Israeli Arab Knesset member urged Palestinians to fight Israeli “occupation.”

Ahmed Tibi, from the Knesset’s United Arab List Party, attacked Israel in an editorial in the Arabic-language Al-Quds on Sunday, writing that “Palestine belongs to its Arab residents, not to the Jewish occupiers.”

Seven months ago, Tibi told Palestinians at a Fatah faction rally in the West Bank city of Ramallah that they should fight Israel until they capture the entire West Bank, including eastern Jerusalem.
