Knesset Member MK Mansour Abbas, who offered prayer from Quran on Holocaust Remembrance Day, represents the Joint List, which represents Israel's Arab minority.

@gantzbe chose to surrender & join Netanyahu govt over all-out effort to create a govt w/support of the Joint List.
Two opposite trends in Israeli politics -
⦿ Gantz allowed racist bias against Arab-supported govt to keep Netanyahu in power. Disaster.
⦿ Latest election & corona crisis underline integration of Arabs in society & growing Jewish support for political alliance. Hope.
