Channel 12 news reports leaders of the change bloc are becoming more concerned about Ra’am’s demands, 10 hours before Lapid’s mandate to form a coalition expires.

The network says there is growing opposition within Ra’am, an Islamist party, to supporting the bloc’s efforts to form a government unless the bloc agrees to various demands that the right wing of the potential coalition will find difficult to accept.
