Abbas recruits Jewish lawmaker Segalovitz to Raam for Israeli election

Mansour Abbas, leader of the Arab Islamist Raam party, has recruited Yoav Segalovitz, a Jewish former police commissioner known for tackling crime in Arab communities, to run on Raam's slate in the upcoming Israeli election. This cross-community move aims to broaden Raam's appeal and potentially secure a governing coalition role. The move signals a strategic shift in Israeli Arab politics toward integration and coalition pragmatism.
