The United Arab List (UAL) announced that a Channel 13 poll, conducted by the StatNet Institute led by Yousef Muqledah, indicates the UAL could secure 7 seats for the first time. The poll also projected 54 seats for the Jewish "change bloc" parties. This projection suggests the possibility of forming a 61-seat coalition government focused on change, with the UAL as a partner influencing decisions for the Arab community.

The UAL emphasized that each seat is critical for the next government's fate. A loss of even one seat for the UAL or the change bloc could allow Netanyahu to remain in power. Conversely, securing an eighth seat for the UAL would strengthen the chances of forming an alternative coalition, ousting Netanyahu and Ben Gvir, and reinstating the Arab community at the decision-making table.

The UAL appealed to the Arab public, stating that the opportunity to form a change government and remove Netanyahu and Ben Gvir from power is in their hands. They asserted that an additional seat for the UAL enhances the prospects of a change government and ensures Netanyahu and Ben Gvir are sent to the opposition. The party stressed that no other scenario guarantees the removal of Netanyahu and Ben Gvir, urging voters to grant them the strength to achieve the goal of removing the current leadership and returning Arabs to the decision-making process.
