Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Ra'am party, has set a clear goal for the upcoming elections: to influence the identity of the next government. In an interview with Reuters, Abbas expressed his aspiration to replace the current government and alter its policies, stating, "We can ensure the establishment of a new change government." He specified that the desired changes include security and political policy, aiming to "replace the right-wing government, end the wars and the current policy, stop the expansion of settlements, and address the failure to stop settler attacks." Abbas also stated, "We also want a government that will bring security and peace to Palestinians and Israelis."
However, achieving this goal faces obstacles. Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, has already declared he will not join forces with an Arab party. Despite this, Abbas believes the election results could shape future political possibilities. He also noted that placing former police officer Yoav Segalovitz second on the Ra'am list is intended to convey a message of Jewish-Arab partnership, stating, "It sends a message of partnership with the Jewish community and with Jewish citizens."
