Call Me Back - with Dan Senor · Sneak Peek: Tal Becker on the challenge of forming a coalition with Arabs parties · 8 Aug 2026 podcast

That's going to be a really, really difficult thing to do.

And the question spoke about the Bennett Lapid coalition.

To some extent, I mean it was a story of success and a real effort to have diversity.

But I think we also saw two things there.

The first was how difficult it was to hold a coalition together.

With this broad spectrum of views.

And it led to real political tension and defections.

And it was a key factor, I think, in the Bennett-Lapid government not surviving.

And there were obviously a lot of issues about Bennett's actual decision to include them with Le Pen.

And the the second point, of course, was that in the lead-up to that government, there was the May 21, if you recall, violence in in Gaza that spread to mixed cities, and it became unbelievable.

Tense situation and Ram had to kind of suspend its engagement with those coalition negotiations.

If I remember, I think in May 2022, there was violence on the Alaksa mosque, and Ram suspended its participation.

And as a result of that, like the Israeli-Jewish public saw this is a party that's going to have a hard time being part of this effort.

And now after October 7th, where we've been engaged in this really horrific.

tragic war, fighting off enemies, Israeli Jews don't feel they have the luxury to do that.

Now, I would just finally say, aspirationally, I think, you know, I often talk about Israel, we have a sovereign state.

We really would like to have a sovereign state of mind.

Obviously we would love to live in a reality where we can have these kind of broad coalitions.

And I think it's it is a more Zionist position aspirationally to hope to be

Able to bridge and make sure that Arab Israeli uh Arab Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel feel that they can be participants not just in equality of their citizens, but also in government.
