Lapid, Likud meet kingmaker Abbas in effort to draft coalition
(Worthy News) – Ra’am (United Arab List) head Mansour Abbas, who holds the key to the formation of the next government, met on Saturday with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and Likud MK Ayoub Kara, as both sides attempted to woo him in order to build a coalition.
Kara told The Jerusalem Post after the meeting that he was now sure that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would form the next government. But Netanyahu’s associates said the prime minister neither sent Kara to Abbas, nor used him to relay any messages.
“The pragmatic camp in the Arab sector led by Mansour must be embraced and not shunned with harmful statements,” Kara said, referring to those in Likud and its allies in the Religious Zionist Party who have vetoed a coalition backed by Ra’am. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
