Israel Coalition Talks Shaken by Clashes With Palestinians Bloomberg 2 days ago
(Bloomberg)
The worst violence between Israel and the Palestinians in years has complicated efforts to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and end a prolonged period of political paralysis.
Mansour Abbas, head of the Islamist United Arab List faction, froze negotiations to join a potential coalition headed by the Jewish nationalist Naftali Bennett and secular centrist Yair Lapid, citing the ongoing flareup that’s killed more than two dozen Palestinians and two Israelis, and wounded hundreds more.
It was an abrupt reality check to efforts to form one of the most unlikely governments in Israeli history, yoking not only nationalist and leftist factions in a government aimed at toppling the longtime Israeli leader, but also an Arab faction for the first time since the state’s 1948 founding.
