Diaspora Affairs Minister Amihud Shikli (Likud) addressed in a Radio 103FM interview his June 2021 statement, in which he said he would be happy to see Raam chairman Mansour Abbas serve as minister for regional cooperation, and explained his change of position today.
According to him, 'Mansour Abbas knew how to play on our hope that there would be change in Arab society.' Shikli added: 'In the end, he proved he is an Islamist who cannot condemn Hamas and cannot define them as a terrorist organization.'
In his remarks, Shikli attacked attempts in the political system to integrate Raam as a legitimate partner. 'Segalowich's cynical move to connect with Raam, this is a step that brings us closer to a binational state,' he said. 'Whoever opposes the idea of a binational state should denounce people like him.'
