Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi, who chairs the Joint List faction, revealed on Tuesday during a press conference in Haifa that he watches Channel 14. Tibi stated that the incitement against the Arab public on the channel motivates Arab voters to go to the polls, alongside concerns about Itamar Ben-Gvir and rampant crime. He explained that while there is support for the Joint List as a rising force, other factors are driving Arab citizens to vote, including Ben-Gvir, escalating crime, and Channel 14. Tibi accused the channel of inciting against the Arab public, which he believes spurs people to vote.
