RAMALLAH (Ma’an) — President Mahmoud Abbas received a delegation from the Arab Joint List in the presidency headquarters in Ramallah Tuesday evening.
The delegation included head of Arab Joint List Ayman Odeh, and members Masoud Ghanayim, Jamal Zahalqa, and Usama al-Saadi.
Member of the Fatah movement’s central committee, Muhammad al-Madani, also attended the meeting.
Abbas congratulated the delegation on their 14-seat win in the 20th Israeli Knesset elections that took place earlier this month, and the delegation applauded the President’s efforts and his persistence to national rights.
The Joint List, an alliance formed by four Arab parties — United Arab List, Ta’al, Balad and Hadash — was the first time parties representing Palestinian citizens in Israel have joined forces.
