The left is no longer hiding – and a government with Arab support is closer than ever

Two weeks before the elections, reporter Avraham Hasson claims that the left is ceasing to hide its intentions to form a government with the support of the Joint List. The chairman of the list, Yosef Jabarin, announced a political plan to establish a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. Minister Smotrich attacked the possibility, and Benny Gantz revealed that Lieberman had previously sought a government with the list's support. The article portrays the right as dozing off in the face of a consolidated left-wing plan.

Exactly two weeks before the elections, reporter Avraham Hasson claims that the left in Israel is no longer hiding its intentions to form a government with the support of the Joint List. The chairman of the Joint List, Yosef Jabarin, announced this morning that his party's political plan is to establish a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, just days after stating that the list is ready to provide a safety net for a government that would act to replace Netanyahu. Minister Smotrich attacked the possibility of forming a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot that would rely on the support of the Joint List, calling it "a dangerous plan to establish a terrorist state." Benny Gantz revealed this morning that Lieberman had previously sought to form a government with the support of the Joint List and would not hesitate to do so again. Lieberman responded and attacked Gantz. The article portrays the right as dozing off in the face of a consolidated left-wing plan, and asks whether this will cause a voter drift among the right.
