The political system is waiting in anticipation for the word of mouth of Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas.

The RAAM Council is expected to convene today (Thursday) to discuss the election results and the party's position regarding the recommendation or avoidance of a recommendation for a particular candidate for the formation of the government.

The party imposed a curfew on interviews, and the only interview given by Chairman Mansour Abbas was to the Turkish Anadolu Agency. According to a senior official in the USSR, the chairman and MKs from the party have not yet decided whether to hold a press conference during which Chairman Abbas will make a statement.

After surprising the election and entering the 24th Knesset with four seats, the election of the head of the PM party, Mansour Abbas, continues to resonate outside Israel: "The first Arab monarch in Israel's history," the Turkish news agency Andulo called it the one to determine The political future of the Jewish state.

"Our options are open, and we are negotiating with the right and the left," Abbas said in an interview published yesterday, in which he reiterated his ambition to work with a prime minister who would meet the needs of the Arab sector.

"We will not allow a return to the rejection of the Arab community to the margins of society," Abbas said, adding: "There is the interest of our people in the Negev, with about 100,000 people living without development and recognized territories," Abbas noted.

As you may recall, the head of the RAAM party, who left the joint list before the last election and ran on a separate list, became in this step a returning figure from right and left, but as mentioned, Abbas takes his time, consults with his relatives, meets the emissaries of the major parties and waits.

"Our red lines are our rights, whether national rights or civil rights," he said.

"We will not negotiate or compromise on them. We may not get them all but we will not leave them," Abbas concluded.

Until now, he has refused to support a specific candidate, but it is known that there are several meetings, including with Likud representatives, as first reported in "Israel Today."

It was also reported that a senior RAAM official admitted that they were closer to joining the right-wing bloc than the center-left bloc: "We will support a coalition led by Netanyahu from the outside," the source said.
