MK Mansour Abbas: Smotrich is the Only One Who Prevented the Formation of a Right-Wing Government with Ra'am
MK Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Ra'am party, confirms that the one who thwarted the formation of a joint government of the right and the Arab party was Minister Bezalel Smotrich
Assessment
Mansour Abbas explicitly names Bezalel Smotrich as the single figure who blocked a potential right-wing coalition that included the Ra'am party. This attribution places the responsibility for a failed political arrangement squarely on one individual, rather than on broader ideological or coalition dynamics. The statement may shift internal right-wing political discourse around Smotrich's role and his relationships with other factions. Observers should watch for any responses from Smotrich or his party regarding this claim.
