Israeli police raided the headquarters of the Joint List and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) club in Umm al-Fahm on Thursday evening. The officers confiscated Palestinian flags displayed on the building's facade. The raid occurred just hours before the Joint List's final election rally, scheduled for Friday evening, amidst intensified preparations for the upcoming elections.

This marks the second time in recent months that police have entered the same headquarters and removed Palestinian flags. The Democratic Front criticized the timing of the raid, deeming it provocative and an attempt to target their political activities during the election campaign. They viewed the action as an attempt to disrupt their political work in light of the ongoing election preparations and the planned closing rally.
