“They call him the Houdini of the Middle East, the Great Escape artist. And, incredibly, it looks like Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, one of the most divisive and also most successful politicians in history, has done it again.”
“The fact is that Bibi has managed to cling on this long within a democracy is astounding”, says Nicole Lampert ⤵️

Golan calls for bloc to unite with Arab parties: ‘We have a majority of 65 seats. We must stop being afraid’

🇮🇱 Both Netanyahu’s camp and the Israeli opposition are reportedly reaching out to Arab political parties as negotiations begin over the formation of the next government.
Ra’am leader Mansour Abbas says his party has been approached by politicians from both sides.
“Everyone is speaking with us, not just from the ‘change bloc.’”
Ra’am is a conservative Arab party that favors negotiating with Israeli governments to secure improvements in housing, infrastructure, public safety and funding for Arab communities.
In 2021, Abbas held talks with Netanyahu before joining the Bennett–Lapid coalition, making Ra’am the first independent Arab party to join an Israeli governing coalition.
With Netanyahu’s bloc projected to hold just 55 seats, six short of a majority, support from Arab parties could become central to the negotiations over who forms Israel’s next government.

Ra’am leader Mansour Abbas says both Netanyahu’s camp and the anti-Netanyahu bloc are courting the Arab parties after election results:
“Everyone is speaking with us, not just from the ‘change bloc.’”
Ra’am, the United Arab List, is a conservative Arab party with roots in the southern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel.
It split from the Joint List in 2021, arguing that Arab citizens gain more by working within Israeli politics than by staying in permanent opposition.
It focuses on practical issues for Arab citizens such as crime, budgets, housing and infrastructure rather than on Palestinian national demands.
In 2021 Abbas negotiated with Netanyahu before joining the Bennett–Lapid government, making Ra’am the first independent Arab party in a ruling coalition in decades.
This year it ran separately again and put Yoav Segalovitz, a Jewish former senior police official, at number two on its list.
He signalled openness to a government led by Gadi Eisenkot but said “there aren’t numbers for a government” yet, and that he would decide only once a viable, stable four-year coalition exists.
With partial counts showing Netanyahu’s bloc at about 55 seats and the Arab-led parties at about 16, neither camp can reach 61 without the Arab parties.

When the leaders of Finland and Norway held talks with Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, it had been their intention to help find a way to end the war in Ukraine.
But it quickly became clear after the talks that they had made no meaningful difference 👇
