Yousef Jabareen, Chairman of the Joint List, stated in an interview with Al Majalla that the increased voter turnout among the Arab community was linked to the war in Gaza, which he described as a "war of annihilation." He also connected this to rising crime and home demolitions in the Negev.
Jabareen suggested that the fear of Benjamin Netanyahu returning to power motivated voters to go to the polls. He argued that the Arab community's experiences over the past four years, including the Gaza conflict, settler activity, organized crime, and demolitions in the Negev, influenced their decision to vote.
According to Jabareen, the high Arab voter turnout should not be seen solely as support for political change. He asserted that it also represented opposition to the continuation of the current reality, which he believes has made daily life for Arab citizens more difficult.
