The mine on the way to an Eisenkot government – and the question that the Ra'am representative evaded

Gadi Eisenkot set a condition for cooperation with Ra'am: recognition of a Jewish and democratic state. MK Walid al-Huşayla avoided directly answering the question in an interview with Jordanian media, focusing instead on the policy of home demolitions.

Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar party, set a condition for political cooperation with Ra'am: recognition of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. In an interview with Jordanian media, MK Walid al-Huşayla, a Ra'am representative, was asked whether his party is willing to accept the demand, but he avoided giving a direct answer. He later addressed the differences between the Netanyahu government and a government in which Eisenkot would participate, focusing on the policy of home demolitions. Al-Huşayla claimed that during the Bennett-Lapid government not a single house was demolished, and expressed hope for a similar policy in the future. Ra'am did not issue a response.
