Joint List Rejects "United List" Attacks, Vows to Topple Netanyahu Government

The Joint List has expressed dismay and condemnation regarding a statement issued by the United List, which they describe as an unjustified attack, bickering, and misinformation. This response comes after statements made by Professor Yousef Jabareen, head of the Joint List's list, which garnered significant attention in the Israeli media. The Joint List asserts that it has adhered to a signed code of honor and strived for a positive electoral atmosphere to increase voter turnout among their constituents, while refraining from engaging with repeated insults over recent weeks.

The Joint List maintains that it has clearly presented its post-election vision, principles, and red lines without mentioning or addressing the United List. They believe that polls indicate the Joint List is central to any change desired by their community, and those concerned should re-evaluate their positions rather than attack them. The Joint List positions itself as the largest force, representing the broadest unity within their society, and capable of ousting the Netanyahu government.

Emphasizing their responsibility, the Joint List stated they will not be drawn into bickering and attacks, as these only serve those who wish to deter people from voting. Their clear vision involves utilizing all available political tools to bring down the right-wing government. They also stressed their role as a safety net for their people, aiming to impose their community's demands and conditions on any post-election political arrangement. They will not grant a "blank check" or support settlement expansion, war, or silence in the face of incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque or attacks on worshippers, monks, and churches.

The Joint List concluded by stating their urgent mission is to instill hope, bolster confidence in the possibility of change, and encourage high voter turnout, viewing this as their responsibility to their people as they continue their work.
