The Joint List party has announced its readiness to engage in political cooperation aimed at toppling the current Netanyahu government. The party stated that the Arab public understood the gravity of the moment and turned out in large numbers to vote, viewing the election day as an unprecedented display of strength against the government of Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich. The Joint List pledged to "act with all its might to bring an end to Netanyahu's rule" and is open to forming an alternative government. This alternative government would commit to a fundamental change in the current government's "racist policies," recognize the rights of the Arab public, and end their exclusion from the political system. The party concluded by vowing to continue fighting for their constituents and for a better future based on full equality and genuine partnership.
According to preliminary election results with 88.6% of votes counted, the bloc supporting Netanyahu has 53 seats, the "change bloc" has 48, and Arab parties hold 19 seats. Another potential scenario involves the change bloc, alongside Arab parties, attempting to gain control of the Knesset. This could include replacing the Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th massacre. Such actions might lead to the immediate dissolution of the Knesset and a new election cycle.
