Seglovitz: Contacts with Abbas are a 'Zionist move to strengthen the bloc'

Seglovitz said that contacts with Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas are a Zionist move that will strengthen the political bloc he is part of, according to a single report.

Seglovitz, whose full name and exact role were not specified in the report, stated Monday that the contacts with Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas represent 'the Zionist move that will strengthen the bloc.' The statement, reported by a single source, is a rare positive reference to cooperation with the Arab Islamist party from a figure on the right wing of Israeli politics. The wider political context includes ongoing coalition negotiations and disputes over military conscription policy, as The Zioneer has previously reported.
