In light of the Karine-A affair, Knesset Member Ahmid Tibi warned that there would be more attempts to smuggle weapons into Israel. "This will not be the last attempt to smuggle weapons, as long as Israeli attacks against Palestinians continue," Tibi told Yediot Achronot.

Meanwhile, Knesset Member Abdulmalik Dehamshe (United Arab List) said that Israeli Arab October rioters were "noble and right," and "prisoners of conscience," Ha'aretz has reported.

Speaking before the Or Commission of Inquiry, which is investigating the October 2000 riots in which 13 Israeli Arabs were killed, Dehamshe said: "From their point of view, they did something so noble and so right."

Dehamshe was asked to explain why he had called for the use of force against Israeli policemen who were sent to guard workers busy with demolishing illegal buildings. Shortly before the October riots, Dehamshe said that the policemen's "legs and arms should be broken."
