- Ideological cooperation is being forced within the "Change Bloc," according to a correspondent.
- Surprising political alliances are expected after the next elections.
- Pressure will likely prevent a repeat of election deadlock.
- External support from Ra'am is considered possible.
- Alliances between seemingly distant political groups are not ruled out.
Nachum Peri, the Knesset correspondent for the Maariv newspaper, commented on the tensions within the "Change Bloc" and the political landscape, particularly regarding statements made by Yair Golan about Mansour Abbas. Peri suggested that the criticism directed at Golan stems from the expectation that political partners should not attack each other, even when their ideological cooperation is not genuine.
Peri discussed the possibility of a political deadlock leading to further elections, stating that while it's possible, significant pressure is likely to be applied post-election to prevent a repeat. He anticipates "very surprising cooperation" after the elections, driven by this pressure to avoid new elections.
While Peri does not foresee Ra'am participating in a government, he believes external support from the party is a possibility. He also indicated that unexpected political alliances could form between blocs that currently appear distant. Peri speculated about potential alignments, including a connection between Eisenkot and Netanyahu, or the surprise inclusion of the Religious Zionism party in a bloc, emphasizing that "everything is open."
