Israeli journalist Yaron London announced on Channel 13 that he intends to vote for Mansour Abbas, leader of the Ra'am party. London explained his decision stems from a desire to empower Arab citizens of Israel and enable them to influence the country's future. He stated that Abbas is the first Arab leader in 70 years, a period including 17-18 years of military rule, who is genuinely seeking full participation for Arab citizens within the Jewish state.
London highlighted Abbas's stance on national service for Arab citizens, suggesting a willingness for national, rather than military, service. "What the hell else do you want?" London questioned, defending Abbas's position. The journalist expressed opposition to a situation where one-fifth of Israel's citizens are permanently excluded from shaping their own destiny.
He advocated for Arab participation in government and high-level state positions as means of influence. "I want there to be no situation in the country where one-fifth of Israel's citizens are permanently excluded from any influence on their own fate. Participation in government, work in the highest state positions, and how long will this go on? A hundred years? Can a state even exist under such circumstances?" London asked, emphasizing the need for a resolution to this issue for the state's viability.
