Storm in the joint list: There are
growing speculations that the RAAM party, led by Mansour Abbas, will announce its separation from the other member parties on the list.
It is not only the ideological disputes between Abbas, who represent the conservative and moderate Islamic religious current, and the rest of the joint list, but also internal polls held by Abbas, which his associates claim "clearly show that an Arab party he faces will run for six seats."
The RAAM also presented demands to protect the feelings of the religious Muslim voters regarding the joint list legislative initiatives and support for laws to be put to the vote, as well as the continuation of the policy of freedom of vote and non-factional discipline. We will allow a branch of the Likud on the joint list. "
The RAAM party also stated that it would be willing to accept the condition "only not Netanyahu", in exchange for the other parties' agreement to two conditions: the first - that the list respects Islamic law and does not support any proposal contrary to it. Yes, "that is, which candidate its members would be willing to recommend to the prime minister, and which of the candidates can be worked with.
The PM said in a statement that "we do not want the common voters to face the Pandora's box, but to know exactly what they will receive from us as their elected representatives.
The only goal before us is to strengthen the political power of the Arab voter and to express it in his favor and to achieve his rights.
We have no other goals. "
