A condition set by Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yachad Party, requiring recognition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, has raised questions about potential political understandings with the United Arab List. Member of Parliament Walid Al-Huwashla avoided giving a direct answer regarding his party's stance on this condition during an interview with a Jordanian media outlet. Al-Huwashla was asked if the United Arab List would agree to recognize Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, a prerequisite Eisenkot has stipulated for any political cooperation. He did not provide a clear response to this demand.
Eisenkot had previously stated that recognizing Israel as a Jewish and democratic state was a condition for any potential political cooperation with the United Arab List, led by Mansour Abbas. This highlights potential disagreements between the two parties concerning the nature and terms of political partnership. Al-Huwashla's evasiveness leaves open questions about the United Arab List's position on this condition and the possibility of overcoming it in future government formation negotiations.
In another part of the interview, Al-Huwashla discussed differences between the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and a future government that might include Eisenkot, focusing on home demolition policies. The MK claimed that no homes were demolished during the tenure of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, expressing hope for a similar policy in any future government involving Eisenkot. The United Arab List has not yet commented on the interview's content.
