"The left has no moral mandate to sit with the Arab parties"

Channel 14 commentator Shagiv Assulin claims that left-wing parties have no moral mandate to sit with the Arab parties in light of the election results and voter turnout in Arab society, and that they will have no choice but to join a national-Zionist government.

Channel 14 intelligence and security commentator Shagiv Assulin, a former senior Mossad official, addressed the updated true results of the 2026 elections and expressed optimism in light of what he defined as a clear decision among the Jewish public. According to him, the high voter turnout in Arab society and the images from Rahat and Acre place left-wing parties before a moral difficulty in cooperating with the Arab parties. Assulin argued that left-wing parties have no moral mandate to sit with the Arab parties, and that they will have no choice but to join a national-Zionist government. He also addressed the security challenges against Iran and argued that the magnitude of the hour requires a political understanding of the situation.
