He hints he won't let Bibi form a government unless some Druze Minister is appointed.
He said he will have to get the advice of the religious priests of the Druze religion before he decides yes or no.

Rav Kahane  would be against giving in to Kara's demand.
Deep down one should be aware the Druze have a habit of supporting the "strong man", and in the past when the Jews were weak launched anti-semitic pogroms against the Jews in Tzafat (Safed)

The 1838 Druze attack on Safed began on July 5, 1838 during the against the rule of . Tensions had mounted as the Druze captured an Egyptian garrison outside of .[1] The local Safed militia of several hundred was heavily outnumbered by the , and the city was gripped in despair as the militia eventually abandoned the city and the Druze rebels entered the city on July 5.[2] The Druze rebels descended on the Jewish quarter of and, in scenes reminiscent of the four years earlier, spent three days attacking Jews, plundering their homes and desecrating their synagogues.[3][4][5] Some Jews ended up leaving the town, moving south to Jerusalem and Acre.[6] Among them was , whose printing press had been destroyed a second time by the ruffians.[7]

Despite the decline through the 17th and 18th centuries, by the 1830s there were still around 3,500-4,000 Jews living there, comprising at least half the population.[8] The Jews of Safed had been subjected to a in 1834 during the : Over 5,000 Arab peasant rebels had launched a revolt protesting against legislation imposed by the new Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali and some had used the uprising as an opportunity to attack the Jews.

The attack[]
The Jewish population relied on the protection of an Arab governor against the Druze. Dr. Elizer Loewe wrote in his diary:[1]

We huddled together in Rebbe Avraham Dov's house... The women were hysterical and the children crying. The Rebbe asked me to write a note in Arabic to the mayor, pleading with him not to forsake us in this desperate time. I did so, but his answer was mere lip service.
According to Loewe, the mayor and his militia fled the city, and the Jews became Open prey for the ravenous rebels. The Druze rebels were joined by Muslim mob and they looted the Jewish quarters, as the rebels thought the Jews possessed hidden treasures and local Muslims encouraged them to attack. The plunder lasted for 3 days.[2]
