Arab-led lists differ over joining an Eisenkot government
Asharq News reports that the two Arab-led lists hold 19 Knesset seats combined. The United Arab List (Ra’am) is seeking direct participation in a coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, while the Joint List favors remaining outside the government. The report also describes positions that would limit the lists’ role to preventing Benjamin Netanyahu’s return. Party leaders’ stated priorities include civil equality, combating crime and violence, housing, and Palestinian-related issues. The 19 seats do not amount to an agreed coalition, and talks remain unresolved.
