Right-wing commentator Yaakov Bardugo claimed Tuesday morning that a deal between Mansour Abbas (Ra'am) and Yoav Segalovitch would see Segalovitch appointed as Interior Security Minister in a potential government led by opposition leader Gadi Eizenkot. Bardugo warned the public to watch Abbas's Arabic-language statements, alleging that the emerging left-wing coalition represents a danger.
Yaakov Bardugo, a prominent right-wing commentator with close ties to the Prime Minister's Office, stated on Tuesday that a reported agreement between Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas and MK Yoav Segalovitch would position Segalovitch as Minister of Internal Security in a government led by opposition leader Gadi Eizenkot. Bardugo urged the public to watch Abbas's Arabic remarks, claiming they reveal the true nature of the prospective coalition.
Bardugo's comment comes as Eizenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, continues to lead opposition polls and has positioned himself as the main challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Segalovitch, a former police Major General and founder of Lahav 433, has been touted as a security-minded figure. The Ra'am party, led by Abbas, has been a key potential coalition partner for centrist and center-left blocs.
No response from Eizenkot, Abbas, or Segalovitch has been reported. Bardugo's statement remains unverified, and no formal coalition agreement has been announced.
