How the sides differ Left sources emphasize Abbas's alliance with a Jewish ex-police commander to oust Netanyahu; alternative sources stress whether any party would partner with Arab-led parties.

Both reports center on Mansour Abbas, leader of a small Arab political party in Israel, and the potential influence of Arab-led parties in the coming election. The New York Times describes him as a dentist-turned-lawmaker who helped remove Benjamin Netanyahu once before and has now teamed up with a Jewish former police commander to try again. AP says he condemned Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack and rarely discusses the Gaza war or the West Bank occupation. AP adds that Arab-led parties could decide the outcome only if others agree to partner with them.
