Mansour Abbas is an Arab Israeli politician who leads the United Arab List (Ra’am), a political party with a voter base that is generally Arab, Muslim, and religious. In 2021 he joined a historic coalition government under Naftali Bennett, a right-wing Jewish Israeli politician, a move that was essential to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu. His participation in the coalition also resulted in increased government investment in Arab communities, including in fighting crime, education, and development. In 2026 he again emerged as a potential kingmaker in that year’s elections.
