- Ra'am faction chairman Walid Taha released a video calling on Arab youth to help remove Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from the Knesset.
- Taha criticized Ben-Gvir's role in home demolitions in the Negev, a policy Ra'am actively opposes.
- He recalled past instances where Ben-Gvir was allegedly removed from Knesset committees in humiliation.

- The faction seeks increased electoral power to confront Ben-Gvir's policies.
Walid Taha, a Member of Knesset and the chairman of the Ra'am faction, has released a new video directly addressing young people in the Arab community, launching a sharp attack on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Taha recalled past instances where Ra'am faction members allegedly ensured Ben-Gvir was removed from Knesset committees, leaving him "humiliated." He contrasted this with Ben-Gvir's current role as National Security Minister, who he stated is responsible for home demolitions.
Taha called on the youth to grant Ra'am the electoral power needed to "throw him out of the Knesset and return him to being humiliated." Ra'am, the political wing of the Islamic Movement, is described as the most influential political force among the Bedouin population in the Negev, largely due to its deep religious and community ties in the region.
The faction has taken a leading role in opposing the policy of demolishing illegal homes and seizing state lands in the Negev, a policy actively and uncompromisingly pursued by Minister Ben-Gvir. This issue intensifies the conflict between Ben-Gvir and Ra'am's leadership, explaining the direct confrontation featured in the video.
