- Strategist Beraleh Crombie believes the right will win elections due to the left's proposed alliance with Arab parties.
- Crombie criticized the left's preference for a government with the Muslim Brotherhood over Haredi parties.
- Ghil Beilin defended Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas as a moderate Arab leader.
- Beilin noted Abbas's condemnation of the October 7th attacks and support for national service.
- Crombie warned the left has a "problem understanding reality" regarding Abbas.
Strategist Beraleh Crombie asserted that the right-wing bloc is poised to win the upcoming elections primarily because the left-wing is proposing to form a minority government with the support of Arab parties, specifically Ra'am. Crombie made these remarks during a Channel 13 election panel discussion hosted by journalist Bar Shem-Ur, where he debated left-wing figure Ghil Beilin.
Crombie criticized the left's strategy, stating, "It is a disgrace that the Zionist left prefers a government with the Muslim Brotherhood over a government with our Haredi brethren, who, despite all the difficulties with them, are first and foremost our brothers and are partners in the struggle for the Jewish character of the state." He also drew a parallel between trusting Mansour Abbas and previously trusting Abu Mazen, warning, "The left also believed Abu Mazen was a moderate leader. You have a problem understanding reality."
Beilin countered Crombie's claims by characterizing Ra'am Chairman Mansour Abbas as a moderate Arab leader. Beilin highlighted that Abbas condemned the "murderous massacre" on October 7th, advocates for a moderate stance, and envisions cooperation with moderate elements within Arab society. Beilin further noted that Abbas has called for national service among Arab youth and recognized Israel as a Jewish state, contrasting this with the right's potential coalition partners, stating, "You want a government with anti-Zionist Haredi parties."
