i24NEWS • • world
Key Points:
- Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas expressed willingness to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization in exchange for a genuine coalition partnership with Gadi Eisenkot's bloc.
- Abbas had previously refused to recognize Hamas due to threats against his and his family's lives but set this recognition as a condition for joining any coalition.
- Eisenkot required parties to meet four conditions for coalition participation; Ra'am met three, with recognition of Hamas as a terrorist group being the last hurdle.
- Democrats leader Yair Golan supported Abbas's move, suggesting that formal declarations would emerge through negotiations.
- Abbas and Ra'am have condemned Hamas's terror attacks and endorse the total disarmament of Hamas, aligning with US President Donald Trump's proposal.
