The ambitions of the Arab parties have received dangerous legitimacy

The column argues that the national ambitions of the Arab parties have received dangerous legitimacy from the center-left bloc, while the Haredi public has undergone delegitimization. The author warns against relying on Arab parties to form a minority government and accuses the left of giving a green light to these ambitions.

Nave Dromi's column on ynet examines the results of the 2026 Knesset elections from an interpretive perspective. The author argues that the national ambitions of the Arab parties, particularly Ra'am and the Joint List, have received dangerous legitimacy from the center-left bloc. He notes that Mansour Abbas has declared autonomy in the Negev and Galilee and that his fellow list members refuse to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. Conversely, the author claims that the Haredi public, which is "flesh of the flesh of Israeli society," has undergone demonization and delegitimization by the left. He calls for soul-searching and an end to incitement against Haredim while setting clear boundaries for those who seek to harm Israel's security.
