Following the recent election results and ongoing political negotiations, Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi of the Joint List has outlined his faction's core principles and conditions for upcoming parliamentary actions, emphasizing their primary goal of replacing the current government. In an interview with Saudi media outlet Al-Hadath, Tibi called for cooperation between opposition parties and Arab parties to block a government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We in the Joint List extend our hands to anyone willing to pave the way for change and the downfall of this government," Tibi stated. He indicated that the opposition's first immediate test would come with the opening of the Knesset session, centered on the election of the Knesset Speaker.

Tibi clarified that supporting the opposition's candidate for Speaker is just the beginning of political negotiations for security guarantees for an alternative coalition. "This is the first step, and then we will voice our requests, which are security guarantees for our society [the Arab society], and we want to see what the reactions will be," he said.
