While initial projections placed Ra'am as a potential kingmaker, shifting results favored the right-wing bloc. Abbas celebrated increased Arab voter turnout and vowed to combat crime and discrimination if part of a "change" government. The party, which previously made history by joining a coalition, faces challenges in translating electoral success into political influence.
