Yosef Jabareen, chairman of the Joint List, declared that Arab citizens will remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben-Gvir from power, drawing a parallel to the removal of Meir Kahane in 1984. Jabareen made these remarks at a rally in Umm al-Fahm, as captured in a video shared by the Joint List on Facebook. He stated, "The history of Wadi Ara is known to all, and just as we disappointed Kahane in '84, we will do the same to Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir." The crowd responded with cheers and applause.

The current election cycle is perceived by the Arab public in Israel as critical, with a sense of "existential danger" stemming from the policies of the right-wing government during the past term. These policies reportedly include a harsh stance against expressions of nationalism, demolition of illegal homes, and the cancellation of prison leave programs. Consequently, voter turnout among the Arab population is expected to be higher than usual, underscoring the pivotal nature of these elections for the right-wing bloc and for the nation.

The Joint List, posting the video on its Facebook page, captioned it with "We must win!" The accompanying text emphasized the importance of the elections for the right-wing camp and for the people and land of Israel.
