According to sources in the RAAM, tensions have been growing between their party and MK Rinawi-Zoabi in the past two weeks. At the same time, senior members of a joint list told Here News today that the entire faction will run together against the Judea and Samaria Regulations Act.
Against the background of RAAM’s refusal to vote in favor of the Judea and Samaria Law, senior government officials sharply criticize RAAM: “Their conduct shows the Jewish public that it is impossible to form a coalition with Arabs in the future.” This summer there are controversial laws – and the coalition has responded positively. This is also the reason why New Hope Chairman Gideon Saar has waited so far with the Judea and Samaria Regulations Act. About a month after the opening of the session – the law goes up and the promise to the RAAM is broken.
The Minister of Justice and the new chairman of Tikva, Gideon Saar, made it clear to senior government officials: The statement that the overthrow of the Judea and Samaria law will end the government – does not apply if MK Idit Silman drops the law. Meanwhile, the negotiations with RAAM have been transferred to the responsibility of the Director General of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office, Naama Schultz. Sources involved in it say that the USSR has MKs who demand that Rinawi-Zoabi first pledge to support the law, before they pledge.

At the same time, the government is considering legal options in case they fail to extend the Knesset regulations until the end of June, and they will expire. Saar requested a comprehensive legal opinion on the matter, and a preliminary investigation indicates that there will be legal solutions to restore the situation to its former state, but only in some of the issues.
