Muwid Al-Hayb, the Arab mayor of Tuba-Zangaria, has contradicted a statement made by Israeli minister Gadi Eisenkot regarding support from Bedouin local authority heads. Eisenkot's party had announced that these mayors declared their support for him.
However, Al-Hayb stated in an interview with Radio Al-Nass that Eisenkot's party's announcement was inaccurate. He clarified that no support was declared for Eisenkot, but rather that the mayors demanded the inclusion of the Ra'am party in the next government, and Eisenkot promised to do so.
This claim adds to the ongoing political debate surrounding the possibility of Eisenkot cooperating with Ra'am after the upcoming elections. Eisenkot has recently stated that a Palestinian state will not be established in any government he forms, while Ra'am has declared its intention to be a coalition partner in the next government.
