Arab parties, particularly the Joint List, are being hailed as the major winners of the recent election based on preliminary results, achieving unprecedentedly high vote counts and Knesset seats. The voter turnout in the Arab sector reached approximately 80% by the end of election day, a significant increase compared to previous elections. Yosef Jabareen, Chairman of the Joint List, expressed his party's elation, stating, "We continue on the journey to send the extremist right-wing government, Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich home." He voiced hope that the final results would allow them to declare that the "bloody government, a government that incited wars, the government of Kahanists" would not be able to continue. Jabareen thanked all voters and supporters, pledging to continue leading the public's path toward equality for all citizens, Jews and Arabs, social justice, and a just peace based on the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. He affirmed their commitment to fighting for their principles and expressed pride in them, promising to continue the struggle together until victory.
