Abbas: I reach out for a life together, no one is disqualified (Photo: Shlomi Gabay)

In a meticulous speech in Nazareth, tonight (Thursday) the chairman of RAAM Mansour Abbas maintained "statehood."

He stressed that all options are open, did not disqualify any candidate nor did he announce who he would recommend.

Some will say that this was a historic speech, and in the meantime he is reaping the compliments mainly on the Israeli left.

In contrast, the far right, as well as Arab society, find it difficult to accept it as authentic.



"I am Mansour Abbas, a member of the Islamic Movement, a proud Arab and Muslim, a citizen of the State of Israel," said the deputy chairman of the northern faction of the movement, in a statement broadcast on all major Israeli television channels. should pay attention to what there was, with emphasis on the word "Palestinian." In general, the name "Palestine" on all tribal totally absent from the speech, and no Palestinian flags fluttered in the room.



In a speech also lacked references to the Al-Quds "Jerusalem, right of return, Law of Return, Amendment of the Law of Nationality, or repeal of the Kaminitz Law.

It is time to create a different reality, for all the citizens of the country. "

In Arab society, the "gospel" he brought is still being digested.

Arab society is still digesting the "gospel" that Abbas brought, and while in large parts of it he welcomed the pragmatism in the discourse on roads, hospital beds, equality, eradication of crime and welfare, there were those who lacked the national ideology nurtured by Arab society leaders in Israel since its inception. .

Abbas also mentioned that he is not a marginal leader, and that he "heads the most senior and largest political movement in Arab society."



Indeed, with the four seats that Ra'am won in the election, it became the only Arab party that retained its power from the previous Knesset. Balad, which previously had three representatives in the Knesset.



It should be remembered that the importance of the speech is already in its very existence: first, RAAM has refrained from making statements since the election. It is also a speech in Hebrew, after the campaign conducted by RAAM was entirely in Arabic.

Abbas' messages were interpreted as universal.

There are those in Arab society who say that things should be taken for granted, that the basis for citizenship in the country is not some coveted idyll.

Announced that he does not want to be part of any bloc on the right or left.

Instead of saying who he would support, Abbas announced that he did not want to be part of any bloc on the right or left.

"I am here in another bloc, the bloc that chose me to serve my people and gave me a mandate to turn the demands of the Arab public that for years remained demands into a real work plan."



In Arab society, the speech is interpreted, mainly on the basis of what Abbas did not mention, as paving the way for an alliance with the right-wing bloc, even led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

To a large extent, there is a possibility that Abbas sandals the leaders of the Zionist parties and tells them, 'Here, I have removed every trace of what the Jewish-Zionist public is allergic to.'

In doing so, he opens a new path of discourse about a civilian future, which also, apparently, does not for some reason equip the Arab public as a partner.
