While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly opposes relying on Arab parties, it has emerged that his close associate, Nathan Achel, secretly engaged in negotiations with Mansour Abbas, the chairman of the Ra'am party. The clandestine effort aimed to prevent Abbas from supporting an alternative government led by Gadi Eisenkot. According to a report by Muhammad Magadla on Channel 12, Achel's discussions with Abbas were intended to dissuade him from aiding the formation of a government headed by the leader of the "Yesh" party. The Likud party confirmed the report but asserted that Netanyahu was unaware of and not involved in Achel's initiative. "Prime Minister Netanyahu was surprised to hear about these exchanges, and they were not done with his knowledge," a Likud spokesperson stated.
