United Arab List Warns of Smear Campaign Ahead of Elections
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The United Arab List (UAL) has issued a warning regarding a campaign it claims is orchestrated by elements within the Israeli right-wing. The campaign allegedly involves the dissemination of fabricated street signs, videos, and rumors under the UAL's name. The party asserts that the goal is to tarnish its image and influence voting in both the Arab and Jewish sectors.

In a statement, the UAL stated that the campaign aims to undermine its electoral prospects to benefit the far-right. The party views its specific targeting as a reflection of the right-wing's apprehension about its political role and its potential influence in forming the next government. The UAL highlighted that its strength within a coalition, in cooperation with "Change bloc" parties, could lead to 61 Knesset members, potentially ending the premierships of Benjamin Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir. The party recalled its role in forming the government in 2021.

The UAL emphasized that it is solely responsible for content originating from its official election campaign, which bears its approved slogan. It urged the public not to share any materials not released through its official channels. The party expressed confidence in the Arab community's awareness and ability to counter what it described as slander. The UAL called for broad participation in the elections to defeat the right-wing coalition and establish a new "change" government in which the UAL would be a significant partner.
