Ra'am in the coalition

"Shut up so we don't hurt the negotiations"

As political commentators try to figure out which government will form, MK Gilad Kariv of the Democrats reveals the change bloc's plan and says: They tell us to be quiet so we don't damage the talks

MK Gilad Kariv (Democrats) revealed on Wednesday the change bloc's strategy ahead of bringing the Ra'am party into the government.

In an interview with Radio Nas, Kariv said: "We will not give up on the demand that Ra'am be part of the coalition that will be formed by the change bloc. They tell us to shut up so we don't hurt the negotiations, but the opposite is true. We need to say clearly that we will not give up on Jewish-Arab partnership."

In recent days, Knesset members from the Democrats have said they would like Ra'am to be part of the government, but they understand there is no agreement on this among the other parties.

Separately, Channel 13 News reported last night that Naftali Bennett said he does not rule out even a unity government with Netanyahu. But afterward, his party said that Netanyahu's divisive statements prove he needs to go home.
