The United Arab List party, through its head Mansour Abbas, has strongly criticized the Israeli government's decision to cut approximately one billion shekels from future budgets allocated to the Arab community. The party views this move, intended to fund armament, as a continuation of the government's discriminatory policies targeting Arab citizens and their financial resources. Abbas explained that the government is diverting funds from a future five-year plan that has not yet been approved, a step that would undermine any new plan before its implementation. This follows previous government actions that affected the budgets of the 'Progress 550' plan. The United Arab List asserted that replacing the current government with a new 'change government,' in which the party is a coalition partner, is essential to halt racist policies, discrimination, and budget reductions affecting the Arab community. The party pledged to work within a future governing coalition to approve a new five-year plan focused on combating violence and crime, addressing land and housing issues, reducing disparities, and fostering development within the Arab community.
