Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List, met with President Isaac Herzog to discuss the formation of a new government. Abbas stated that the Arab community has chosen a path of change, citing increased voter turnout as a response to government incitement against Arab citizens and a desire for a shift in political direction. Regarding the Palestinian issue, Abbas presented his vision to Herzog, advocating for reconciliation, peace, and the establishment of two states in the region, urging Hamas and other armed groups to disarm.
The United Arab List's recommendation of Eizenkot for Prime Minister came during consultations Herzog is holding with parliamentary factions to decide who to task with forming the government. With no single bloc securing an independent majority, party recommendations and potential coalition stances are crucial. The United Arab List had announced its decision to recommend Eizenkot before meeting the President, joining other parties in the "change bloc" that support his nomination. Consultations are ongoing amid disagreements over the potential inclusion of Arab parties in the next government.
