Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List, has renewed his invitation to the Joint List and its leader, Yousef Jabareen, to participate in a public political debate. Abbas described the proposed debate as a "democratic and civilized act" and a legitimate discussion, contrasting it with the Joint List's previous rejection, which termed it "political wrangling."
Abbas explained that the initial invitation arose during a seminar with high school students in Ar'ara, where numerous questions led to a political and civilized discussion between the leaderships of both lists. He emphasized that the public and media have a right to witness this direct political discussion and to pose questions to the leaders of both lists openly. This, he stated, would allow the public to determine what is best for the Arab community: voting for the United Arab List and its platform, or for the Joint List.
Abbas called on the Joint List to review its decision to refuse the debate, expressing hope that the decision would be reversed and the debate could take place soon.
