Mansour Abbas, the head of the Islamist Ra'am party, stated that he will run in the next Knesset elections but then leave national politics. He expressed his desire to serve and achieve his goals before giving someone else an opportunity. Abbas's party made a controversial move to join a ruling Israeli coalition in 2021 but was later sent to the opposition. He has been vocal in condemning the Hamas terror group and has accused Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza.
