Yousef Jabareen, the leader of the Joint List party, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of inciting against Arab citizens and questioning their right to influence the country's political situation. Jabareen stated that Arab voters can impact election outcomes and bring about the current government's removal. He urged supporters to vote to achieve political change, declaring, "The Arab public knows how to punish you today and send you and your bloodied government home." Netanyahu had previously warned about high Arab voter turnout, particularly in the south, suggesting it could affect election results and calling on his Likud party supporters to vote more actively.
The Joint List also alleged that Netanyahu disseminated AI-generated images, claiming they depicted polling stations in Sakhnin and the Negev. The party believes these publications escalate tensions and discourage Arab voter participation. Jabareen noted that turnout in Jewish communities remained higher than in Arab ones, urging his party's supporters to mobilize in the final voting hours and expressing confidence in achieving political change.
Jabareen also spoke out against followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane, known for his Jewish supremacy views. The Joint List leader vowed to do everything possible to send Netanyahu "home." Tensions were further heightened in some Arab towns due to long queues and slow document checks at polling stations, leading to suspicions of deliberate obstruction of the voting process. Earlier reports indicated that Knesset election polling stations would adjust their hours, allowing voting even after official closing times.
