Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas said the party plans to formulate, in the next government, a framework for 'equality in the burden' that addresses the needs of the Arab community and integrates Arab youth in voluntary and contribution frameworks to Israeli society, according to the chairman's statement.
Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas issued a statement Tuesday afternoon outlining his party's policy goal for the next governing coalition. Abbas stated that Ra'am would work to formulate a 'framework for equality in the burden' tailored to the Arab community's needs, integrating Arab youth into national service and volunteer frameworks contributing to Israeli society. The comment comes as coalition negotiations are expected to intensify following the March 2026 election results. As The Zioneer previously reported, Abbas has positioned Ra'am on a path of coalition partnership while other Arab-led factions have headed to the opposition, deepening the divide among Arab-majority parties. No specific timeline or legislative details were provided in the statement.
