Yousef Taysir Jabareen, chairman of Hadash and the Joint List, stated in an interview with 103FM that his party's support is not guaranteed and presented a clear political prerequisite for any future cooperation. Jabareen emphasized that the Joint List does not offer automatic support or a "blank check" to any political entity, especially not to the opposition leadership. He explained that any party seeking the Joint List's recommendation at the President's Residence must engage in substantive negotiations on its terms, which will be determined only after the election results are known.
The primary demand from the Joint List is a complete shift in political direction, advocating for a plan to establish a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, coexisting peacefully with Israel. Furthermore, the party insists that the next government must initiate negotiations and officially recognize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.
Addressing the leaders of the "change bloc" aiming to replace Prime Minister Netanyahu, Jabareen asserted that they must offer genuine political hope and a clear vision. While acknowledging that a Palestinian state will not be established immediately after the elections, he stressed that this demand is the sole hope for achieving true peace and is therefore a necessary condition for any alternative government.
