„We were asked if there‘s a change in our position regarding Pence‘s visit,“ Joint Arab List chairman, lawmaker Ayman Odeh, wrote on Twitter. „He is a dangerous man with a messianic vision that includes the destruction of the entire region.

„He comes here as the emissary of a man who is even more dangerous,“ Odeh wrote in reference to U.S. President Trump, who he called a „a political pyromaniac, a racist misogynist who cannot be allowed to be lead the way in our region.

„The entire Joint List will boycott his speech in the plenum,“ Odeh wrote regarding Pence‘s planned speech on Monday in the Knesset.
