In an interview with Army Radio, Mansour Abbas of Ra’am calls on fellow Arab party Ta’al to vote with the Lapid-Bennett coalition to oust Yariv Levin of Likud from his position as Knesset speaker.
Unconfirmed reports say other Arab parties that are part of the Joint List alliance are said to be mulling supporting Levin’s ouster, a move that would enable the new government to be sworn in as early as next Monday.
