Mansour Abbas stated in a Saturday evening interview with N12's Meet the Press that negotiations with former MK Yoav Segalovitch are 'halfway there' and that Segalovitch is worthy of becoming Minister of Internal Security. Abbas also said he is considering serving as a minister himself, with a decision approaching, according to journalist Amit Segal (N12).
In a Saturday evening interview with N12's Meet the Press, Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas stated that negotiations with former MK Yoav Segalovitch are 'halfway there' and that Segalovitch is worthy of becoming Minister of Internal Security. Abbas also said he is considering serving as a minister himself, with a decision approaching.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Abbas's interest in Segalovitch for the National Security portfolio, as well as on broader coalition negotiations involving Abbas and opposition figures. Abbas's remarks suggest that the potential appointment of Segalovitch—a former police major general who founded Lahav 433—remains a central element of Ra'am's political strategy.
Abbas's openness to joining a government himself marks an additional development, though no final decision has been announced. The political landscape continues to shift amid discussions of alternative coalitions.
