United Arab List Submits Knesset Slate, Aims for 7 Seats

The United Arab List has submitted its candidate list for the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. Party leader, MK Mansour Abbas, stated the list's goal is to secure at least seven seats, enabling them to participate in replacing the current government.

During the submission to the Central Elections Committee, Abbas declared the United Arab List sees itself as a partner in the next government. He added that any Israeli citizen can view the list as their own and vote with full conviction, especially after the addition of former MK Yoav Segalovitch. Abbas criticized the current government, calling it a failure that must be replaced and stating it failed to protect citizens' security during the events of October 7th.

The party also requested that its name be added to ballot papers in Arabic. The United Arab List held a meeting of its top 12 candidates in Kafr Qasim on Monday before heading to Jerusalem to officially submit their candidacy to the Knesset's Central Elections Committee. The top candidates include Mansour Abbas, Yoav Segalovitch, Walid Taha, Walid Al-Huashla, Iman Khatib Yassin, Yasser Hujeirat, Ibrahim Al-Touri, Abdelkarim Masri, Abdelkarim Azzam, Ibrahim Abu Laban, Mohammed Al-Heib, and Hamam Abu Mokh.
