A delegation from the Arab Movement for Change, led by its head, Member of Knesset Dr. Ahmad Tibi, visited newly elected Member of Knesset Haitham Zahalqa in the town of Kafr Qara. The visit, which took place during an evening event, was also attended by Kafr Qara Mayor Adv. Firas Ahmad Badahi, along with several other prominent figures and activists.

Mayor Badahi opened the event with a welcoming speech, thanking MK Tibi for the trust placed in Zahalqa and praising Zahalqa's contributions to the city. Zahalqa, in turn, emphasized his political roots within the Arab Movement for Change, noting his progression through the party ranks to become a member of its central committee. He recalled running for parliament four previous times on the movement's list in non-guaranteed positions, expressing pride in his long-standing affiliation and loyalty.

MK Tibi, speaking at the event, expressed pride in his political journey with Zahalqa. He stated that as the dean of Arab MKs, he would enter the upcoming parliamentary term alongside new, young faces, specifically mentioning newly elected MKs Ahmad Darawshe and Haitham Zahalqa, who he believes will bring a youthful dynamic to parliamentary work.

Tibi stressed the significant effort required in the upcoming term to serve the Arab public across all regions, from the Galilee and the Triangle to the Negev and coastal cities. He affirmed that the responsibility of representation and parliamentary work extends to all members of the Arab community, including those who did not vote for the joint list.
