Israeli Coalition Debate: Arab Parties, Netanyahu and Eisenkot

The two Arab parties, both the Joint List and Ra'am, Their members want different things.

For them, Independence Day is the Nakba, a catastrophe.

Gadi, Yoram, This is at stake now, and true.

Israel didn't let you or us lead them alone.

What can you do? And Arab society voted for parties that, well, reject the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.

They want something else. Just read it. Yoram, you speak Arabic.

Member of Knesset Abbas. Mansour, shouting won't help you, Shouting won't help you.

Listen, shouting won't help you. Maybe not me.

Ah, you'll never be able to say that about me, because I've known your true face for many years.

I really understand, Mansour, your anger at me, because I was the first one here in this house to expose your true face six, seven, and eight years ago, and the truth makes you angry.

What can you do? There was an attempt, Matan.

You go after a member of the Knesset, huh? And you failed.

You should have stopped the tree planting in the Negev, the JNF planting on state land meant to be protected.

You should've stopped them for funding a govt overthrow.

You know that. You were there. A coalition that will be formed and depend...

Doesn't matter if by abstention or... A coalition formed on the votes of people who deny that Israel is a Jewish and democratic state, who define the founding of the State of Israel as the Nakba, who, in any case, can't call Hamas a terrorist organization,

For three years, now you won't have to form a coalition, who, in any case, go and visit terrorists in prison.

These are all consequences of the fact that they identify with the sons of our enemies.

You don't form one with them. They can't be...

Of course, we must look after Arab citizens of Israel, And Matan, you can't get elected to the Knesset on their votes either.

And I'm sorry, Gadi set a trap for you. Yes, he's putting you in a corral, like a frog being slowly heated in a pan.

Don't boycott 1,160,000 Likud voters. They put up notes, and at the head they see Netanyahu, their leader.

You can like it, or you can dislike it. Don't boycott them.

Sit down together, Prime Minister and MK Eisenkot, Go into a room and sit down together.

You don't need negotiating conditions, You need no aides or advisers.

Sit down together, and yes, argue until white smoke rises, arm-wrestle and reach agreements, and agree on basic principles and open it up to anyone who wants.

Putting the State of Israel in the hands of its enemies is a stain that can never be erased, ever.
