The head of the Joint List party, Yousef Jabareen, is pushing for a surplus vote agreement with the Ra'am party ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections. Jabareen stated that increasing Arab voter turnout is crucial for strengthening Arab parties and potentially toppling the right-wing government. He described the elections as "fateful" and emphasized that a surplus vote deal would prevent wasted votes while sending a positive social message within the Arab community.
Jabareen urged a focus on positive campaign aspects rather than negative attacks between Arab parties. He framed the election not as a contest between Arab factions, but as a "battle against the fascist government for the existence and future of Arab society." The primary goal, he reiterated, is to raise Arab voter participation, believing that if the Joint List secures 10 Knesset seats, it could bring down the "government of fascism, racism, and destruction."
