Poll: Opposition Voters Favor Eisenkot Government With Arab Party Ra'am
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
A new poll indicates that 61% of voters from Israel's four main opposition parties back a government led by Gadi Eisenkot that includes the Arab party Ra'am. The survey, conducted on election day, also found 20% preferred new elections and 12% supported a rotation government with Netanyahu. These results come as neither the Netanyahu bloc nor the opposition has secured a clear majority in the Knesset, making potential alliances with Arab parties crucial for government formation. Opposition leaders have differing views on including Arab parties in a coalition.
