In unprecedented move, Abbas and Segalovitz announce joint run, bringing Jewish lawmaker to Arab party’s slate

This marks the first time a Jewish member of Knesset has been included on an Arab party's list. Ra'am leader Abbas emphasized the importance of creating partnerships and viewing opponents as humans rather than enemies.
