Former MK Yoav Segalovich is expected to meet Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas to finalize his placement in the party, according to a report.

Former MK Yoav Segalovich is expected to meet with Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas to finalize his placement in the party, according to a report. The report, which also features a sharp critique of opposition leaders Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid by former Border Police intelligence chief Yuval Malka, suggests the move is progressing despite political backlash. Malka accused Bennett and Lapid of 'losing direction and values' by partnering with the 'Muslim Brotherhood' and granting legitimacy to Abbas as a coalition partner.
The Zioneer reported on Saturday that Segalovich was considering joining Ra'am, with a meeting expected this week. Earlier reports indicated that Yesh Atid sources viewed the potential move as a mistake that could push the bloc further from 61 Zionist seats. An assessment published by The Zioneer on July 31 suggested that the alliance could deal a heavy blow to the Democrats party. The meeting, if finalized, would formalize Segalovich's shift from the center-left camp to the Arab-led Ra'am party.
