US EditionMK Ayman Odeh's Vehicle Attacked, Spat on by Violent Protesters in Ness Ziona
NESS ZIONA, ISRAEL, JUL 19 – Three suspects were arrested after far-right activists attacked Arab Knesset member Ayman Odeh's car during a protest, reflecting rising tensions over his Gaza war criticism.
- On July 19, 2025, Ayman Odeh, a Knesset member and leader of the Hadash-Ta'al alliance, was confronted by far-right protesters in Ness Ziona who surrounded his car and caused damage to the vehicle during his trip to an anti-war rally.
- The assault occurred as Odeh was traveling to an anti-war rally amid heightened tensions over Israel's ongoing Gaza conflict and prior failed attempts to expel him from the Knesset.
- During the attack, the mob spat, cursed, chanted 'Death to Arabs,' hit Odeh's car with sticks, cracked the windshield, and prevented him from addressing the crowd.
- Officials representing Germany and the the United Kingdom denounced the attack as an intolerable assault on a democratically elected official, while Odeh posted on X, “Fascism will not pass. We will not let them prevail!”
- Police arrested three local suspects but faced criticism for limited intervention, and the incident fueled calls to hold perpetrators accountable amid continuing investigations.
