Israel’s Arab-led parties could decide the election if anyone would partner with them
Middle East3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported49m ago
In Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Israel, Mansour Abbas, leader of a small Arab political party, is emerging as a potential kingmaker in upcoming elections. Despite his party's potential influence, he faces significant political isolation as mainstream Israeli parties remain reluctant to form partnerships with Arab-led factions.
Abbas has sought to align with Israeli societal expectations by condemning the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. He has also maintained a low profile regarding the ongoing war in Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, a strategy aimed at navigating the complex political landscape while positioning his party as a viable coalition partner.
