Yoav Segalovitz, who recently joined the Ra'am party list after leaving Yesh Atid, experienced a disruptive event during a community gathering in Rahat on Sunday evening. As Segalovitz was addressing residents, the event was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Segalovitz, who is the first Jewish candidate ever on the Ra'am Knesset list, commented on the incident, stating that while crime is not the primary reason he joined Ra'am, it is something that can be addressed. He added that such an event could not happen in a well-ordered country.
Segalovitz joined the United Arab List, led by Mansour Abbas, on August 31, 2026. Upon joining the party, Segalovitz asserted at a press conference alongside Abbas that the notion that partnership with Arab parties is impossible after the October 7th massacre is "baseless" and that he aims to forge a new political partnership.
