Ayala Hasson, a well-known veteran journalist, who published an in-depth TV report on the connection between RAAM (arab party that is in the government coalition) and Hamas: 

"Mansour Abbas is being interviewed by a public broadcaster, funded by the taxpayer, and not a single question has been asked on this issue. Is it a private organization or working for the public? The Israeli public would like to know if it forwards money to terrorists or not."

News 13 journalist Ayala Hasson harshly criticizes her colleagues in Gali Tzahal and the Broadcasting Corporation for ignoring the investigation she published on Thursday according to which Razi Issa, number 15 in the RAAM party, resident of Kafr Qassem, chairman of the Islamic Movement General Assembly and member of the Shura Council and the CEO of 48 received compliments from Razi Hamed, a senior Hamas official, for the association's activities. 

Issa also visited Gaza in 2019 where he again met with top Hamas officials, and was also present at a meeting at which the agreement was signed between RAAM and Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett.

The major media outlets have ignored the publicity, which could embarrass the government. For example, Reno Tzurur from IDF Radio interviewed Abbas and did not ask a question about the alleged funds for Hamas, as did Arie Golan from Network B.

The Knesset Opposition parties have long claimed that Raam Party had ties to Hamas which could bring legal charges against them, and this report seems to veriify these claims.
