Joint List Reveals Demands for Supporting Netanyahu's Ouster

The Joint List party, led by Professor Yousef Jabareen, has announced its intention to provide a "safety net" for any government that replaces Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration. The party is prepared to offer external support to an alternative coalition, but not without conditions. These demands, revealed on Sunday, center on social programs and include a plan to combat crime organizations and improve personal security, development plans for Arab communities with an emphasis on housing and industrial zones, an end to home demolitions, and the cancellation of the Kaminitz Law.

Further demands focus on unique programs for young people in housing, education, and employment. Additionally, the Joint List insists on a "real and sustainable political horizon" based on negotiations with the Palestinian leadership. Jabareen stated, "We are not an open check, and we also have demands," emphasizing that the party will utilize all parliamentary tools to prevent the formation of a new government led by Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Bezalel Smotrich.

While most of the demands have support among the parties in the "change bloc" opposing Netanyahu, the political horizon issue is a point of contention. The Joint List clarifies that this demand does not explicitly mention the establishment of a Palestinian state. The party reiterated its role as a safety net for the public and an alternative government seeking to replace Netanyahu's "destructive path."
