Ibrahim Hegazi, a leader in the United Arab List, urged Arab voters to increase their participation in the final hours of election day, emphasizing the need to raise the voting rate to secure the list's eighth seat. Speaking to Radio الشمس for the "Al-Hasad Al-Ikhbari" program, Hegazi stated that while turnout in most Arab towns had surpassed 50% and might reach 70%, this was insufficient given the high turnout among right-wing Jewish voters, particularly settlers.
Hegazi called for tens of thousands more Arab voters, asserting that the United Arab List obtaining an eighth seat could contribute to the downfall of the current government. He described the government's policies as racist and fascist, citing home demolitions and killings, and stated that a government elected by ballot boxes can also be removed the same way. He cautioned that current data does not guarantee the list securing the eighth seat and urged voters to support the United Arab List to achieve this goal.
Hegazi also addressed what he termed the Likud party's targeting of the United Arab List in recent weeks, which he said included baseless arrests, text messages, and posters in central and other areas.
