Raam might support Netanyahu from outside government
As I've said before, we should be wary of Mansour Abbas. But even so, I figure it's worth taking note of the following news:
A senior member of the United Arab List (Ra'am) said that the party's chairman, Mansour Abbas, is leaning towards supporting a right-wing government led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Kan News reported.This is fine with me, if only because Ben-Gvir's a fishy character himself. And depending on the circumstances involved, it could be positive for the Arabic populace of Israel. So we'll see how this goes, and let's hope at the same time that Abbas himself maintains decent policies as well.
According to the senior official, the support will be conditional on Itamar Ben Gvir not serving as a minister in this government, and Abbas' position may change if he receives better offers from the bloc of Netanyahu's opponents.
