Eight Arab and Bedouin local authority heads have publicly declared their support for Gadi Eisenkot's candidacy for prime minister. The endorsement, reported by journalist Mohammad Magadla in Arabic media, is seen as a significant blow to the United Arab List (Ra'am) party and its leader, Mansour Abbas.
According to Magadla, most of these local leaders were previously supporters of Ra'am. The officials who expressed their backing for Eisenkot include Atif Grijat of Zarzir, Munir Zbeidat of Basmat Tab'un, Hassan Hajirat of Bir al-Maksur, Ahed Rahal of Al-Battuf Regional Council, Hatem Shibli of Shibli-Umm al-Ghanam, Muwayd al-Haib of Tuba-Zangaria, Said Suleiman of Bu'eine Nujeidat, and Yasser Tabash of Ka'abiyye-Tabbash-Moghrabi.
Magadla described the move as a "significant blow to Ra'am," suggesting a shift in political allegiance among key figures within the Arab community. The public declaration of support for Eisenkot indicates a potential realignment of political forces ahead of future elections.
