Mansour Abbas announced on August 31 that former Yesh Atid lawmaker Yoav Segalovitz will run on the Raam party list for Israel's October 27 election. Segalovitz, who previously served as deputy minister of national security, becomes the first Jewish Israeli candidate on an explicitly Arab party list. Raam is campaigning on an anti-crime platform following its 2021 coalition participation that secured funding for Arab communities.
