Right-Wing Protesters Warn of Civil War Over Potential Arab Party Support for Government
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Hundreds of right-wing protesters demonstrated outside the Knesset, warning of civil war if a government is formed with the support of Arab-led parties. Organized by Im Tirtzu, the protest labeled the Joint List and Ra’am parties as "supporters of terrorism." Gadi Eisenkot has the mandate to form a government but faces challenges due to the need for Arab party support, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also opposes. The Arab parties have denied the accusations, with some MKs pointing to Itamar Ben Gvir as a convicted terror supporter.
