Report: Ya’alon supports minority government backed by Arab parties

Blue and White MK Moshe Ya’alon, a hawkish former defense minister who once served under Netanyahu, is reportedly favoring a Benny Gantz-led minority government with the outside support of the predominantly Arab Joint List.

The Haaretz daily says Ya’alon has recently changed his mind about such a scenario after formerly opposing it. He has expressed support for a minority government in two recent meetings, on condition that the hard-line faction of the Joint List, Balad, be excluded.
