The United Arab List (UAL) reported that thousands attended an election rally in the Negev towns of Hura and Al-Sayyid, supporting the party. The event was attended by Members of Knesset Mansour Abbas and Walid Al-Huwashla, candidate Yasser Hijrat, candidate Ibrahim Al-Touri, Sheikh Safwat Ferej, head of the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Habes Al-Atawneh, head of the local council, his deputy Isac Abu Al-Qian, Talal Al-Qarinawi, mayor of Rahat and head of the Forum of Arab Local Authorities in the South, Jaber Abu Kaf, head of the Al-Qusum Council, Kaid Abu Ma'amar, head of the Shuqba Salam Council, Sheikh Talab Abu Arar, head of the Negev Ar'ara Council, and numerous other community, religious, and political leaders.

Speakers at the rally highlighted the UAL's achievements during its participation in the previous government coalition. These included the recognition of four villages, permission for young couples to build in unrecognized villages, a significant reduction in demolition operations, and the allocation of an economic and social development plan for the Negev.

The speakers emphasized that the Negev would make its voice heard at the ballot box and would hold Itamar Ben-Gvir and his government accountable for demolition policies and incitement. They stressed that the votes of the Negev residents are crucial for the UAL to secure the necessary seats to form a 61-seat coalition, overthrow the current government, and establish a new government of change.

They further asserted that every vote and every seat for the UAL could be decisive in changing the government. The interests of the Negev residents in toppling this government, halting demolitions, and securing their rights, they stated, take precedence over the interests of any candidate or party. Strengthening the UAL, they concluded, is the path to achieving these goals.
