During his address at the Knesset plenum Wednesday, Ohana discussed the surge in Arab violence targeting Jews across Israel, in particular in mixed cities, such as Lod and Acre (Akko).

"Five synagogues were torched – but no one burned any mosques," said Ohana. "They lynched Jewish civilians and shot at Jewish civilians," Ohana said of Arab rioters.

Ohana's comments drew fire from Ibtisam Mara'ana (Labor), an Arab-Israeli lawmaker who was initially banned from running for election over her history of anti-Israel incitement.

Mara'ana accused Ohana of 'incitement', claiming that an Arab rioter shot by Jewish residents of Lod in self-defense was actually murdered. "An Arab civilian was murdered in Lod," she said.
