The Joint List party asserted that high voter turnout within the Arab community was instrumental in preventing Benjamin Netanyahu and his bloc from securing the 61 seats needed to form a government. While final results are pending, the party stated that existing data indicates the significant impact of this mobilization.
The party also credited the increased Arab voter turnout for the failure of several right-wing lists, including those led by figures described as "fascist" like Winter and his partner Yosef Haddad, as well as lists associated with Handal and Zelicha, to pass the electoral threshold.
This achievement, the Joint List declared, is the result of the will of "our people" and the efforts of thousands of activists and volunteers who worked across all communities. The party expressed gratitude for their work in translating hope into participation and action, thereby strengthening the voice and power of the Arab community.
The Joint List emphasized its commitment to using the mandate granted by voters to work towards toppling the Netanyahu government and preventing its return to power. The party stated its readiness to cooperate in establishing an alternative government, provided that opposition factions demonstrate political courage, present a genuine alternative, reject the marginalization of the Arab public and its representatives, and commit to meeting the community's demands and respecting its rights.
