MK Gilad Kariv Supports Mansour Abbas as Health Minister, Predicts Arab Voter Surge for Democrats

Gilad Kariv, a member of the Israeli Democratic Party, expressed strong support for Mansour Abbas in an interview on the political podcast "120 and One" by ynet. Kariv described Abbas as a courageous and important leader and said he would like to see him included in the coalition government. He specifically mentioned that Abbas could serve as the Minister of Health.

Kariv also referenced remarks by Yair Golan, highlighting key ministerial portfolios the Democrats aim to secure, including education, justice, and public security. These areas, Kariv explained, are crucial for addressing the recent judicial reforms and tackling crime within Arab society.

Furthermore, Kariv shared that their research indicates tens of thousands of Arab citizens are expected to vote for the Democratic Party, a development he welcomed enthusiastically. This suggests a potential increase in Arab voter support for the party in upcoming elections.
