Yesh Atid sources told N12 that former MK Yoav Segalovich’s potential move to join the Ra’am party is a mistake, warning it would push the bloc further from 61 Zionist seats. The sources also speculated he might stay in Yesh Atid, join Ra’am, or be placed on the Democrats list.
The remarks come minutes after The Zioneer reported Yesh Atid’s broader criticism of Segalovich’s reported talks with Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas. The new statement, attributed to unnamed party sources speaking to N12, sharpens the internal pressure: the sources explicitly frame the potential alliance as a strategic error that would reduce the center-left bloc’s chances of reaching the 61-seat threshold needed to form a government. They also listed three possible outcomes for Segalovich—remaining in Yesh Atid, joining Ra’am, or being placed on the Democrats slate—indicating uncertainty within the party about his next move. The report follows days of speculation about Segalovich’s political future, including a report Saturday that he plans to meet Abbas next week to finalize the move.
