MK Iman Khatib-Yasin (United Arab List) apologized on Sunday evening after she denied, earlier in the day, the horrors of the October 7th massacre in southern Israel.
"I was mistaken, I am sorry for it and apologize. I had no intention to belittle or deny the shocking massacre on October 7th and the terrible acts against women, babies, and the elderly who were murdered in the South. From the first day, I expressed a clear position regarding the condemnation and denunciation of these terrible acts against Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel on that black Saturday, and I should emphasize this again, especially now," the MK stated.
Khatib-Yasin was interviewed by Arutz Haknesset on Sunday and was asked about the uncensored compilation of footage of the October 7th massacre that was shown to MKs last week.
Khatib-Yasin admitted that she did not watch the screening but said that from what she heard from a "first-person account," the footage did not show the slaughter of babies or the rape of women.
"What happened was difficult. For me, it's terrible, something very big that can not be tolerated, but we are not dealing with simantics. I am a religious Muslim woman - and what happened is against Muslim ethics," the MK stated. "However, you can't ignore what happened beforehand. It does not justify it, but what is happening now within Arab society is difficult."
The United Arab List quickly released a statement in which it called on MK Khatib-Yasin to resign.

Whats an MK??
Pretty sure that there won’t be many Muslims caring at all about what a woman thinks... She’s barely a person in their universe.
Minister of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament.
L
Member of Knesset.
What is the United Arab List?
Member of the Israeli Knesset. Like a member of congress or of parliament. Israel has many Members of the Knesset who are not Jewish.
The definition of “innocent person” in the quran is a person who faithfully practices the muslim religion.
The two sects of Islam hate each other because each believes the other is not properly following the faith.
It’s also okay to lie to infidels. Especially if it furthers the cause of Islam
The quran you usually get on the internet covers these things up.
Member of Knesset, the Israeli parliament.
A coalition conglomerate of all the Arab parties. Together they have enough votes to elect enough members to cross the threshold, which I think amounts to six seats in the Knesset. If you don’t make the threshold, you don’t get any seats, and your party goes bankrupt. So instead of a bunch of small Israeli Arab parties, they get together to form one coalition conglomerate. The Left has had to do that in recent years, too, as have some rightist parties eclipsed by Likud.
They should put her in a room and force her to watch all the footage. It’s people like her that are the problem.
Member of the Knesset is my guess. Like MP is a member of the (UK) Parliament.
A memeber of the Israeli Knesset.
Minister of the Israeli Knesset.
Kind of like our Congress or the UK Parliament.
WAIT A MINUTE.......
I thought the Squad said this was a Palestinian OCCUPATION, AND AN APARTHEID STATE...and yet Arabs are in the Knesset...HOW CAN THIS BE?????
You mean the Palestinians had a VOICE in the government????
What a bunch of lazy, savage, barbarians the Palestinians must be.
Hey, Squad, these are your heroes? These are the people you fight for.
YOU ARE PATHETIC.
20% of the citizens of the Jewish State are Muslims. Arab residents of Jerusalem have the option of applying for citizenship, but usually don’t for fear of the neighbors. The leftards want MORE Apartheid, and blow a gasket every time there’s a new development in East Jerusalem that Jews can live in.
