Former Minister Sagolovich Joins Arab Israeli Political Party Ra'am

Former Israeli Minister of Science and Technology, Rabbi Michael Eitan Sagolovich, announced on Sunday his decision to join the United Arab List (Ra'am) party. Sagolovich stated that significant change and reform within the country cannot be achieved without connecting to the Arab population. He previously served as a minister in the Likud party and as a Member of Knesset for 15 years.

Sagolovich's move comes amid a period of political flux in Israel, with speculation about early elections. His decision to join Ra'am, an Islamist party that is part of the current opposition, signals a potential shift in political alliances and outreach efforts towards the Arab community within Israel's political landscape. The party has focused on improving the socio-economic conditions of Arab citizens in Israel.
