Courted by Likud, Ra’am adamant it will not back away from anti-Zionist charter
Honesty is always helpful, even if not approved of by the King of Lies. [IsraelTimes] The Islamist Ra’am political party, positioned as a likely linchpin for any prospective governing coalition, is standing by its foundational charter, which forbids any allegiance to Israel and deems Zionism a "racist, occupying project," a senior party official told The Times of Israel this week.The faction is being wooed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who needs the support of Ra’am to pass the 61-seat threshold for forming a majority coalition, or the party’s outside backing for a minority coalition. The party could also help an anti-Netanyahu bloc led by Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid. But some right-wing politicians, both in the pro- and anti-Netanyahu camps, have ruled out basing a coalition on the party’s support, due to what they say is an anti-Zionist stance; others, like the far-right Religious Zionism, have accused Ra’am of supporting terrorists. Ra’am is the political wing of the Southern Islamic Movement, an organization inspired by the Moslem Brüderbund. Posted by: trailing wife 2021-04-14 |
