Yoav Segalovich

Yeah

... you know, if there would be a minister of the police that would do his job, and we're facing a catastrophic reality in Arab cities and towns of high rocketing number of murders and crime, and we saw a change w- during the Bennett and the PiP government, mainly of Segalovich, that we might talk about him later.

That was the, the deputy minister.

Had a start.

Mm-hmm.

And at the same time, you see interesting cooperations both on the right and on the left.

You started with Yoav Segalovich, and as I said, he was the deputy minister of, uh, Yesh Atid.

And he left Yesh Atid and joined Mansour Abbas and Ra'am.

I mean, there's one interesting list of the Islamist party, Ram, that has a Jewish Israeli politician running as their number two on the list.

And I think that that will shape how people vote for the Arab parties because he is a character who is known, Yoav Segalovic, he is known as someone who is good at fighting crime, organized crime.

And that is a topic that is a very, very concerning topic for Israel's Arab community.

So even if they're not Islamists, they might vote for Ram because he's on the list.

MK Avigdor Liberman cited this and other incidents to claim that governance in the state of Israel is collapsing.

Political discourse among Arab parties also saw sharp exchanges, with the Joint List publicly denouncing Ram's Yoav Segalovic for statements supporting the disqualification of Sami Abu Shahideh from Knesset elections.

The Joint List accused Segalovic of joining a campaign with figures like Ben Jeeva against Arab candidates.

In a highly controversial comment, Itzik Bonzal, ranked in the Likud party, reportedly attacked Hamas captivity survivor Yosef Lifshitz, stating, I wish there was a way to return you to Hamas.

And, you know, you're right that most Israelis are horrified and disgusted we're united on this, except for our Arab parties.

including the Arab party headed by Mansour Abbas, whose number two is an Israeli Jew, because Mansour Abbas is also Israeli, he's an Arab-Israeli, but he has his number two named Yoav Segalovich, who used to be a high official in the Israel police, who was, up until five minutes ago, basically in Yair Lapid's, in the opposition, in Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party, which is considered centrist.

Of course, I consider it leftist, but never mind.

And so you're talking about parties that have not come out to condemn it at all.
