Yesh Atid MK Mickey Levy said on 2026-08-31 that he would not be on the party's Knesset list but would remain a member of the party. [1] Mansour Abbas, chairman of the Israeli Arab party Ra'am, placed Yoav Segalovich, a former Israeli police major-general and longtime Yesh Atid member, second on the party's electoral slate. [2] Mickey Levy said he met with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and agreed to serve as head of the party's court. [3] Yair Lapid, Yesh Atid head and Foreign Minister, responded on X/Twitter, saying that conversations with Levy had been among the most moving in his life and that the bond between them is stronger than ever. [4] According to The Economist's poll tracker, Gadi Eisenkot's centre-right Yashar party has overtaken Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party in voter support ahead of the Israeli election. [5] Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, has repeatedly labelled Israel's Arab parties as 'terror supporters' and accused Ra'am of being an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. [6] Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu released a campaign video for the October 27th parliamentary election featuring an AI-generated image of opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot riding a Trojan horse containing Mansour Abbas, leader of Ra'am, and Yair Golan of the Democrats. [7] Only Yair Golan, leader of the Zionist-left Democrats party, is openly in favor of including an Arab party in the next Israeli government, while other opposition leaders are opposed or evasive.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
