Journalist Raviv Drucker addressed recent reports that former Knesset member Yoav Segalovich is joining the Ra'am party, led by Mansour Abbas, and is set to run for Minister of Public Security. Speaking on his program "War Zone," Drucker criticized the harsh attacks against Segalovich by Moshe Saada and other critics, whom he referred to as "mouthpieces."

Drucker praised Segalovich's record as head of the Investigations Division, highlighting his leadership in major corruption probes and his role in reducing violent crime in Arab society by 17 percent during his tenure. He contrasted this with a significant rise in crime rates under the current critics' influence.

Emphasizing Mansour Abbas's resilience to criticism, Drucker expressed confidence that Segalovich would not be swayed by the negative campaign against him. Drucker's remarks underscore the political tensions surrounding Segalovich's move to Ra'am and the broader debate over security and crime in Arab communities in Israel.
