The Joint List political alliance launched its "Safety Net" program on Tuesday at a press conference in Haifa. The event was attended by the leaders of the three parties comprising the list, journalists, and activists. The program aims to confront violence and crime, defend the rights of the Arab community, and work towards the downfall of the current Israeli government.
During the conference, held at the "Mirall" hall and moderated by Mariam Abu Al-Hija, speakers included Yousef Jabareen, head of the Joint List from the Front; Sami Abu Shehadeh, head of the National Democratic Assembly; and Ahmad Tibi, head of the Arab Movement for Change. They outlined the list's political, social, and economic priorities.
Jabareen stated that the "Safety Net" program is intended to provide a protective framework for the Arab community facing challenges such as violence, crime, and home demolition policies. He also emphasized addressing social and economic issues and strengthening the community's international presence.
Tibi revealed ongoing discussions with Arab professional cadres and senior officials in the Finance, Interior, and Social Equality ministries to develop an economic plan. This plan would complement initiatives launched by the Joint List in 2015, including Plan 922. Tibi also stressed the importance of collaborating with local authorities to repeal the Kaminitz Law, asserting that a strong Joint List is crucial for ousting Benjamin Netanyahu's government and ending the terms of Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
Tibi underscored the urgent priority of toppling the current government to pave the way for an alternative, even if not ideal from the Joint List's perspective, emphasizing the need to prevent the current administration from continuing in power.
Abu Shehadeh highlighted that various segments of the Arab community, including workers, doctors, drivers, employees, and students, face persecution and violations. He asserted that the Joint List is capable of bringing about change and confronting these challenges.
