The head of the predominantly Arab Joint List party Ayman Odeh says he "strongly condemns" the shooting attack against a Border Policeman in the Old City of Jerusalem earlier Thursday carried out by an Israeli Arab from Haifa.
"We strongly condemn the shooting," Odeh says. "There is no place for a citizen of the state to use weapons. Arab citizens of the country have chosen a civil and democratic fight to the end the occupation, [bring] peace and equality. We will not achieve this in any other way."
