Since the beginning of 2021, 108 Arab citizens of Israel - men, women, and children - have been murdered. Eight people were killed this year in Umm al-Fahm alone, and every one of these murders remains unsolved by police. “It's conflicts within families that were known for four to five-six years. We should have done more to solve those problems,” Dr. Samir Mahamid, the mayor, said on this IATF Short interview. </p><p>. </p><p>Dr. Mahamid was interviewed by IATF Executive Director, Liron Shoham, about violent crime in the city and his vision for addressing the urgent needs of its residents.</p><p>. </p><p>This interview was translated to English and edited for length and clarity. </p><p>Editing and Translation: Alisa Shodiyev Kaff </p><p>Voice over: Martin Kaff </p><p>. </p><p>Transcript: <a href="https://www.iataskforce.org/sites/default/files/resource/resource-2072.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.iataskforce.org/sites/default/files/resource/resource-2072.pdf</a></p>
