The Arab’s United List (Ra'am) has warned of an organized campaign by elements associated with the Israeli right-wing aimed at undermining its electoral support. The party claims this campaign involves the dissemination of fabricated banners, videos, and rumors under Ra'am's name. The objective, according to the party, is to tarnish its image and reduce its votes among both Arab and Jewish populations, thereby benefiting the far-right. Ra'am believes its specific targeting highlights the right-wing's fears, particularly its potential to form a bloc of 61 Knesset members with other "change" parties to end the Netanyahu and Ben Gvir government, as it did in 2021. The party emphasized that it is solely responsible for content from its official campaign channels, bearing its approved logo. It urged the public to disregard any material not originating from these official sources. Ra'am expressed confidence in the Arab community's awareness to counter these fabrications by participating in large numbers in the elections, aiming to oust the current "racist and extremist" right-wing coalition and form a new "change" government in which Ra'am would be an influential partner for the Arab community.
