Rabbi Chaim Druckman, the spiritual leader of the Religious Zionist alliance and its chair Bezalel Smotrich, said that there was no room for a right-wing government with the Arab Ra'am party and its leader Mansour Abbas.
"[Abbas] is an Arab who does not recognize the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, is that truly right-wing?" said Druckman, who also called on Yamina head Naftali Bennett and New Hope leader Gideon Saar to join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in forming a government.
