Some Arab MKs may abstain on Knesset dissolution, in major rift with allies
The Ra’am party — part of the predominantly Arab Joint List — is expected to abstain during Wednesday’s vote to dissolve the Knesset, setting up a major fight with the Joint List, according to Channel 12, which speculates that the move could spell the end of the Arab alliance.
