  "account": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has damaged Israel's standing with the United States and its own political allies, according to opposition leader Yair Golan. Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, Golan accused Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of turning Israel into an obstacle to regional progress. Golan urged the Democrats to include Arab parties, such as Ra'am, in a potential coalition, citing the 20% of Israeli citizens who are Arabs. He criticized the far-right coalition partners for their hard-line stance on Arab inclusion and promised reforms to promote national service and education reforms. Golan emphasized the urgency of ending the Palestinian conflict through a comprehensive regional agreement that guarantees Israel's security and ensures separation from the Palestinians.",
  "summary": "Golan told the Post that Netanyahu's absence from deals regarding Israel and the Middle East was \"evidence of how this government has turned a strategic asset into an international liability.\"",
