Eisenkot denies claim he promised Bedouin leaders he’d bring Ra’am into government
Election frontrunner releases recording of meeting, says makeup of future coalition not discussed; Bennett says he is running for PM, but will respect whoever bloc chooses for role after election The post Eisenkot denies claim he promised Bedouin leaders he’d bring Ra’am into government appeared first on The Times of Israel .
Chairman Gadi Eisenkot of the Yashar party denied on Wednesday that he made any promises to Ra am regarding a future coalition or government during a meeting with Bedouin local authority heads. He stated that no discussions about the structure of a potential government took place during the meeting. This denial came after reports that Bedouin local authority heads claimed Eisenkot had promised Ra am a place in the next government he would lead.
Mu id al-Heib, head of the Tuba-Zanghariya Local Council, was quoted by Radio Nas saying that Eisenkot had indicated contacts were being made with Ra am and that he would strive to include the party in his future government. However, Yashar countered these claims by releasing footage and clips from the meeting, asserting that Eisenkot never discussed the composition of any future government.
The party maintained that Eisenkot's statements throughout the entire meeting, including the subsequent meal, were that no government structure was mentioned. Any other reports on this matter are categorically false.
