(Ynet News) Yael Friedson - The head of the merchants' committee in Jerusalem's Old City, Mazen Qaq, on Tuesday offered a $10,000 reward for information that could lead to the capture of Nashat Melhem, the suspect in Friday's deadly shooting attack in Tel Aviv. "This is someone who acted against Israeli citizens, and I won't allow someone like him to destroy trust and security," Qaq said. A resident of east Jerusalem, Qaq emphasized that he sees himself as Arab-Israeli and not as Palestinian. Qaq reported a decrease in business as a result of the current intifada. "Revenue is down 70% and we estimate a loss of NIS 15 million among merchants. We want the situation to go back to what it was." "We're cousins. We need to forget this nonsense about Arabs and Jews. We are all human beings, no matter what your religion is, we are one people. We give you a hand, you help us and we help you."
