Former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot announced he will exclude the unified Arab list Raam, led by Mansour Abbas, from any government formed by his Yisrael Beiteinu party, Shehab Wire reported. The declaration comes weeks before Knesset elections scheduled for October 27.
Eisenkot also criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, signaling potential friction within Israel's political landscape ahead of the ballot.
