Liberman in a statement that could decide the election outcome: I will not sit with them

Avigdor Liberman ruled out a coalition with Ra'am, saying that after October 7, the party's lawmakers spoke like Hamas representatives. This statement could seriously complicate the formation of a government without Netanyahu, as the opposition lacks the votes without the Arab parties.

The head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, Avigdor Liberman, ruled out the possibility of a coalition with the Arab party Ra'am, stating: "After October 7, Ra'am lawmakers spoke like Hamas representatives. We will not sit with them in the government." According to the publication, this statement seriously reduces the opposition's chances of forming an alternative government after the elections, as according to polls, the bloc of Netanyahu opponents does not reach the required 61 seats without the support of the Arab parties. Liberman drew a "red line," completely ruling out cooperation with Mansour Abbas's party, which complicates the opposition's coalition plans.
