Ra’am says it will start voting with coalition again after boycott
The coalition’s Ra’am party, an Arab faction led by Mansour Abbas, says it will start voting with the coalition again, after a weeklong protest.
Last week, three bills backed by the opposition advanced in the Knesset when Ra’am boycotted.
Ra’am was reportedly angry at coalition ministers for holding up its own legislation on tax exemptions in Bedouin communities in the Negev, Ra’am’s voter base.
The coalition fumed over Ra’am’s boycott last week.
“Ra’am is toying with us. We are living from vote to vote,” a coalition source told the Kan public broadcaster.
