Segalovitz key to legitimizing Ra'am party in upcoming Knesset elections – analysis
In an official statement last week, Ra’am’s chairman Mansour Abbas and Segalovitz said they had met and held a “cordial and positive” discussion about the possibility of Segalovitz joining Ra’am.
MK Yoav Segalovitz, a former head of the Israel Police's Investigations and Intelligence Division, is reportedly planning to leave the Yesh Atid party and join Ra'am, an Arab party. This move, discussed for months and confirmed by a "cordial and positive" meeting between Segalovitz and Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas, could significantly impact Israel's upcoming October 27 election. If Segalovitz, who was Deputy Minister of Internal Security in the Bennett-Lapid government and oversaw a decline in crime in Arab communities, joins Ra'am, it would mark the first time in decades a member of a Zionist party has joined an Arab-led party. This could legitimize Ra'am's participation in a governing coalition, potentially enabling the opposition to form a government and unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as neither major bloc currently has enough seats.
