Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrats party, has signaled a potential shift in the "Change Bloc's" approach to Arab parties following recent election results. In a Channel 12 interview, Golan announced he would meet individually with three leaders of the bloc on Wednesday. He urged his partners to re-evaluate their stance on collaborating with Arab political parties, stating, "We need to look forward" and "calculate a new course."
Golan emphasized the need to play the available cards "smartly, responsibly, and in a way that brings hope to the citizens of Israel." He also sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that Netanyahu might "drag us into an unnecessary war in Iran" and is allowing Smotrich and Ben Gvir to "open another front in Judea and Samaria." Golan also called for halting what he described as the "governmental overhaul."
Addressing his party's election performance and its failure to attract votes from the Arab public, Golan stated that it is "not the time for blame games" and that the Democrats will conduct a "thorough, serious, and responsible" lesson-learning process. He stressed the immediate parliamentary priorities: swearing in a Knesset, appointing a speaker, forming committees, and starting a new path.
The planned meetings with the Change Bloc leaders are seen as a potential first step in formulating a post-election strategy, with the question of cooperation with Arab parties remaining a central issue.
