Arab parties, particularly the Joint List, are emerging as significant winners in the recent elections, according to preliminary exit polls. The voter turnout in the Arab sector reached approximately 80%, a substantial increase compared to previous elections. Exit polls indicate the Joint List is projected to win at least 10 seats, with some polls showing 11. The Ra'am party, led by Mansour Abbas, is also expected to perform strongly, securing an estimated seven seats across various polls.
Following the poll results, Yousef Jabareen, Chairman of the Joint List, expressed his satisfaction and outlined his party's goals. He stated their continued effort to oust the "extreme right-wing government" led by Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich. Jabareen hopes that the final results will confirm the end of a government he described as one that "incites war" and is "Kahanist."
Jabareen thanked voters and supporters, vowing to continue leading the public's path towards equality for all citizens, both Jewish and Arab, social justice, and a just peace based on the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. He affirmed the party's pride in its principles and commitment to continuing the struggle until victory.
