Mansour Abbas, the leader of the Ra'am party, has expressed skepticism regarding the feasibility of forming a minority government headed by Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, with the support of Arab parties. According to Channel 12, citing sources familiar with internal Ra'am discussions, Abbas voiced his doubts during a meeting with party members, suggesting such a government could be unstable or unworkable. This discussion follows the opposition bloc's failure to secure a Knesset majority on its own, necessitating the exploration of alternative coalition arrangements. Only the Democratic party has indicated a willingness to include parties primarily representing Arab voters in a coalition. Ra'am's stance is considered a potentially crucial factor in determining the future government's configuration. The party has not yet made a final decision on supporting any specific proposal, and negotiations among political factions are ongoing, leaving the prospects for coalition formation uncertain.
