Arabs and Jews came together on Thursday across Israel to urge reconciliation and calm as violence rages on the streets of mixed Jewish-Arab cities, leaving dozens wounded, some in serious condition.
While some events and initiatives were fostered by institutions, others were spontaneous gathering between locals.
Mayors of Jewish and Arab municipalities in southern Israel gathered in the Negev on Thursday and issued a joint statement condemning violent incidents in the area. “After seeing the recent incidents and events, we see it as our duty, as Arab and Jewish mayors, to take responsibility condemn together the violent, racist and extremist events that are now ongoing in our society,” Naif Abu Arar, the mayor of the Arab town of Arara, which hosted the meeting said.
