Mansour Abbas, a dentist-turned-lawmaker, helped oust Benjamin Netanyahu once before. Now, he and a Jewish ex-police commander have teamed up to try to do it again.
Abbas has emerged as a key political figure capable of shifting power dynamics within Israel. His strategic positioning and willingness to forge cross-cultural alliances have redefined the role of Arab representatives in Israeli governance.
The newly formed political partnership aims to unify diverse factions and present a viable alternative to the long-standing leadership. By bridging communities that have historically operated along strict ethnic and political divides, the coalition seeks to build broad-based support ahead of the upcoming electoral contest.
