Movers and shakers in Israeli society.
Ra'am decided to leave the Joint List last week after the other parties refused two ultimatums to vote together against LGBTQ issues, and to allow Abbas greater freedom to vote with the Right.
The profile was likely created in response to the MK's negative views towards homosexuality, w after Abbas dismantled the Joint List earlier this week due to disagreements about LGBTQ+ rights.
ARAB AFFAIRS: Within Arab politics, there is also dissension and fracture.
Odeh's party: No Likud branch will be allowed inside the Joint List
Coalition can be formed without Likud, haredim and Arabs.
Most Arab Israelis would like to see their representatives in the Knesset focus less on the Palestinian issue and more on problems facing the Arab sector.
Israeli Arabs have been shut out of key political positions of influence not only because of a discriminatory policy, but also because of their own political choices.
At this stage, it’s not clear whether the four parties comprising the Joint List – Hadash, United Arab List, Ta’al and Balad – would again run together in the next election.
"There is one party in our parliament that voted against the Abraham Accords. They refuse to acknowledge that it is a new Middle East."
