Israeli Media: Untied Arab List May Support Netanyahu to Form New Government

A source in the United Arab List ( known also as Ra’am), an Arab political in Israel, said that the chairman of the party has decided to support Benjamin Netanyahu to form a new government.

The source revealed that the Chairman of the  United Arab  List stipulates that Netanyahu should not give a ministerial post of Itamar bin Gvir who belongs to the extremist Zionist camp.

According to the Israeli Corporation Broadcast (MAKAN), the Arab source explained that the stance of his party may change in the case of receiving better offers from other Israeli parties to join the new government.

Mansour Abbas, A Palestinian dentist and the Chairman of the  United Arab   List asks to increase the government budget to fight crime in the Arab sector in Israel, abolish Camintz Law related to building unit housing for Jews in occupied  Arab land,  amend the Law of Nationality in Israel and authorize more validities to municipalities.

On the other hand,   Channel 12  in Israeli mentioned that Israel’s PM Netanyahu prefers to join the United  Arab List and he seeks to convince his partners with unprecedented option.

The Israeli channel pointed out that Mansour Abbas will deliver a speech tomorrow, Thursday, to unveil the intentions of his party which becomes the counterbalance in Israeli politics.

Netanyahu talked about the possibility of depending temporarily on the support of the Arab List by abstaining of its member over voting on confidence in the Knesset but not through direct support.

However, a source in the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, considered that if the majority of the  Jewish members in the Knesset ( the Israeli legislative body) accepts joining of the Arab List to the next government coalition, this help to join the Arab party legally.

Another source in the Likud added that the Chairman of the Arab List may meet with Netanyahu soon to discuss forming of a new government in Israel.

That source went on to say on i24news that joining the Arab List will not prevent the Zionist religious parties from building a new governing coalition.
