In this episode of Jewish Crossroads, Yair Golan lays out one of the most controversial positions in Israeli politics today: that replacing the current government will require forming a coalition that includes Arab parties, specifically Ra’am.

Speaking candidly with Tamar Ish Shalom, Golan argues that after October 7, realism matters more than taboos. He defends working with Mansour Abbas, whom he describes as accepting Israel as a Jewish, democratic, and egalitarian state, and challenges opposition leaders who rule out such partnerships despite knowing that no bloc can reach 61 seats alone. For Golan, the choice is stark: endless elections or the courage to build a governing coalition capable of rebuilding Israel.
