2026 Partnership Crisis: 80 Peace Organizations Attack "Behad" Alliance, Stressing that Excluding Arabs from Government is a Strategic Error

 Over 80 Arab and Jewish peace organizations attacked "Behad" alliance leaders Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, for refusing to partner with Arab lawmakers. The "Time is Now" coalition stated that excluding Arabs is a strategic mistake that hinders peace with Palestinians. 2026 polls show the opposition needs Arab seats to reach a 61-seat majority. Organizations like "Women Wage Peace" emphasized that Arab citizens are central to any future solution, warning that ignoring them undermines social equality and political stability in 2026.
