Bereaved families from the "Bochrim BaChaim" (Choosing Life) forum have appealed to Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar!" party, demanding he honor a commitment made during a meeting approximately one month prior. During that meeting, Eisenkot reportedly pledged not to sit in a government that includes Arab parties. The families presented Eisenkot with findings from their extensive investigation into the "Ra'am" party, detailing its alleged support for terrorism. They also shared evidence and documents submitted to the Election Committee as part of an effort to disqualify Ra'am. According to the families, Eisenkot listened to their presentation and appeared to grasp the severity of the information.
In a letter sent Friday, the families reminded Eisenkot of their September 22 meeting, where they presented evidence against Ra'am and its alleged ties to terrorism. They stated that Eisenkot looked them in the eye and explicitly promised not to join a government with Arab parties. "We remember well the things you told us, and we expect you to stand behind them," the families wrote. They emphasized that a promise made to bereaved families is a commitment that must be kept, urging him to fulfill his word and not ally with Arab parties to form a government.
