Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a 12-point list, claiming it represents the election platform of the United Arab List headed by Mansour Abbas. Netanyahu stated, "This is Mansour Abbas's election platform. It is impermissible to form a government with him." The list, as shared by Netanyahu, includes demands such as ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, evacuating settlements, halting land confiscation and home demolition, and granting Palestinian refugees the right of return. It also calls for Israel's withdrawal from territories occupied since 1967, including the Syrian Golan and southern Lebanon, and an end to blockades on Iraq, Sudan, and Libya. Further demands include recognizing the Arab minority in Israel as a national minority with full rights, rejecting sectarian quotas, strengthening democracy, and enacting a constitution recognizing Arab citizens as a national minority. The list also proposes changing state symbols and revoking the Law of Return, while rejecting the conscription of Arabs into the Israeli military. The source did not clarify the origin of the list or if it is the official platform of the United Arab List, but Netanyahu used it to justify his opposition to forming a government reliant on Abbas.
