ליברמן עושה תחזית לפני הבחירות

הערכה

A senior lawmaker from Yisrael Beytenu is publicly ruling out coalition cooperation with Ra'am before the election results are in. That is a tactical move, not a prediction. By declaring Mansour Abbas unelectable as a partner, Yulia Malinovskaya is drawing a red line meant to consolidate her own political camp's base. Israeli politics rarely respects such lines after votes are counted. The real question is whether Lieberman's bloc can actually cross 61 seats without Ra'am, which polls do not currently support. This sounds more like an effort to frame the campaign narrative than a grounded forecast.
