- The Joint List declared a historic achievement due to high Arab voter turnout in the recent elections.
- The alliance claims the turnout prevented Prime Minister Netanyahu from securing a majority to form a government.

The Joint List political alliance has declared a historic achievement by its constituents, stating that Arab citizens "made yesterday a historic day" by turning out in large numbers to vote. The alliance asserted that the high turnout in Arab towns and villages across the Galilee, Triangle, and Negev regions demonstrated the public's awareness of the "danger of the stage" and served as a "popular demonstration against fascists."
The Joint List thanked its supporters for their "broad and clear trust," which it believes has transformed the alliance into a decisive force. The group stated that this trust signifies the public's appreciation for unity, adherence to core principles, and desire for a genuine political force that advocates for their rights without compromise.
While final results are pending, the Joint List indicated that the significant Arab voter turnout played a crucial role in preventing Prime Minister Netanyahu and his allies from securing the 61 seats needed to form a government. The alliance also credited the high turnout for causing the defeat of figures like "fascist Vinter" and his partner Youssef Haddad, as well as the right-wing Hendl and Zelicha list, below the electoral threshold.
The Joint List attributed this success to the will of the people and the efforts of thousands of activists and volunteers. The alliance pledged to use the power granted to it by the public to work towards toppling Netanyahu's government and preventing its return. It expressed readiness to cooperate in forming an alternative government, provided that opposition factions demonstrate political courage, offer a genuine alternative to the current government's policies, reject the exclusion of Arab citizens and their representatives, and commit to the demands and rights of the Arab public.
