"He started talks with Arab parties." Disturbing reports from Israel

Jair Golan, leader of the leftist Democratic Party, seeks to form a political bloc with the United List and Raam, totaling 27 seats in the Knesset. This coalition aims to negotiate terms for participation in the future government. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee criticized the idea, citing concerns over Arab politicians' responses to Hamas's actions. Despite the significance of Arab parties in the recent elections, major political groups are hesitant to form coalitions with them due to longstanding distrust and differences over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A national unity government or new elections may be alternatives if negotiations fail.
