Abbas and Segalovitz Confirm Talks on Joint Knesset Run

Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas and former Yesh Atid lawmaker Yoav Segalovitz confirmed that they met Thursday to discuss Segalovitz joining Ra'am's slate for the October 27 election. In a joint statement, they said the conversation took place in a good and positive spirit and that negotiations would continue. Segalovitz, a former deputy public security minister who founded the Lahav 433 police unit, resigned from Yesh Atid days earlier. A recent poll cited by the report projected that adding him could raise Ra'am from five Knesset seats to seven.
