Leaders of the Arab parties Ra'am and the Joint List are reportedly in ongoing contact with senior representatives of the ultra-Orthodox party United Torah Judaism (UTJ). These initial discussions involve the parties informing each other about their respective negotiations with the "change bloc," according to Israel's Kan news service on November 12.
Sources indicate that Mansour Abbas, head of Ra'am, advised UTJ leaders to engage with the "change bloc" regarding the conscription law. Abbas suggested this engagement could help secure support for a more lenient version of the law and position UTJ as a key player in forming a majority government.
Yaakov Asher, a leading figure in UTJ, has reportedly spoken with Abbas and Ahmad Tibi, a prominent member of the Joint List, multiple times in recent days. However, Asher's office characterized these conversations as informal and unrelated to political negotiations.
