The Joint List, an alliance of Arab parties, has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his "fascist coalition" of attempting to circumvent election results through incitement and delegitimization of Arab political representation. The party asserts that the ongoing incitement campaign against Arab voters reveals Netanyahu's fear of their growing political power and his inability to accept their significant participation in the elections, which they claim prevented his bloc from reaching the 61-seat threshold needed to form a new government.
The Joint List stated that Arab citizens voted in response to the policies of the Netanyahu government, including war, displacement, and the neglect of crime in their communities. They emphasized that their participation was a demonstration of their belief in their own strength and their right to have a voice and an undeniable will. The party rejected the need for validation from those seeking to marginalize them.
According to the Joint List, the questioning of Arab votes is part of an organized campaign that began months before the election, aiming to delegitimize Arab political participation and lay the groundwork for challenging results unfavorable to Netanyahu and his allies. This campaign, they allege, included incitement, attempts to disqualify Arab lists, voter intimidation on election day, and continues with false accusations against Arab votes and their "historic achievement."
The Joint List called on opposition leaders to cease echoing Netanyahu's and "racist Kahanist" rhetoric and to act with political courage. They urged them to respect voters' will, confront incitement, and pave the way for a genuine alternative government that upholds the rights and demands of the Arab population.
