Naftali Bennett on political cooperation: "I do not rule out Mansour Abbas, but the government will be Zionist"
Published
Chairman of the "Together" party, Naftali Bennett, addressed the possibility of political cooperation with Arab parties in Israel this week at the "Otef Conference." Bennett spoke about his past experience with Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Ra'am party, and noted that he sees him as a pragmatic and good partner for working together.
Despite his positive remarks about Abbas, Bennett clarified that his fundamental position regarding the formation of a government remains clear. He emphasized that he does not rule out any person solely because of their Arab origin, but at the same time, he plans to form a government that will be based on Zionist parties only.
During the conference, Bennett took the opportunity to criticize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He attacked Netanyahu's current policy and argued that there is a need for a change in leadership and in the way the country is managed during this complex period.
Bennett's words are sparking great interest in the Israeli political system, as they set clear boundaries ahead of future election cycles. The question of what future coalitions will look like and whether it will be possible to join forces between different sectors of Israeli society remains a central topic in public discourse.
