Arab party leaders to meet to coordinate positions

Leaders from the Ra'am and Joint List parties are expected to meet on Monday for the first time since the elections. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, the meeting aims to coordinate political moves and positions with the anti-Netanyahu bloc, with both parties stating they will do everything to replace the Netanyahu government.

Following the elections, Arab-led parties secured 19 seats in the 120-member Knesset, potentially providing influence over the formation of the next government. Gulf News reports that Yoav Segalovitz, a 67-year-old Jewish former police investigator and self-described Zionist, is preparing to take his seat in the Knesset on November 10 representing the conservative Islamist party Ra'am.

Segalovitz, who left a centrist Jewish-led party to join Ra'am, stated that despite differences in religion and secularism, he believes progress requires partnership among citizens.
