Member of Knesset Ahmd Tibi from the Joint List or predominantly Arab parties says he still aspires to the possibility of forming a minority government with the support of the Arab parties.
Invoking the Book of Esther in an interview with Yisrael Hayom, to be published in full on Friday, Tibi made it clear, "Recommending [Blue and White Party leader Benny] Gantz to the president [to be prime minister] and the willingness to cooperate with him is not love for Mordechai but hatred for Haman. It's not that we see Netanyahu as Satan and Gantz as an angel. There's a political chasm between us and Blue and White, but I will continue to support the blocking bloc."
