In the office of one of Israel’s most recognisable Arab politicians, framed pictures show him posing with famous figures like Bill Clinton, Yasser Arafat and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In front of Ahmad Tibi’s desk is the Arabic slogan, “The more beautiful days are those we did not yet live,” which the parliamentarian says is a poignant reminder for his people as they face increased scrutiny after Hamas’s October 7 attack.
The attack resulted in the death of 1,195 people in Israel, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
