Former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim praised Arab parties in Israel following the recent elections, calling their success "important progress" and celebrating the increased Arab representation in the Knesset. He stated on his X account that the number of Arab seats rose to 19, the highest ever achieved by Arab factions.

Bin Jassim expressed that this increased representation "strengthens the hope among Palestinian citizens in the "48 regions" to preserve their rights, strengthen their status, and live in peace on their land." He specifically commended Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi from the Joint List, who had visited Doha, Qatar, shortly before the elections and gave an interview to Al Jazeera.

"I want to individually congratulate brother Ahmad Tibi for his trust, his struggle, and his powerful determination to ensure Arab rights in the '48 regions," bin Jassim wrote. He also noted Tibi's "courage to respond to some Israeli elements who stood until recently and still stand against the existence of any influential Palestinian electoral bloc in the balance of blocs in the Knesset, even with an Israeli cover."
