Ahmed Tibi, a prominent figure in the Joint List party, acknowledged in an interview with Saudi outlet Al-Hadath that a government led by Gadi Eisenkot, which his party plans to support, would not advance peace with the Palestinians. Tibi stated that the absolute priority is to bring down the current Netanyahu government, recognizing that difficult decisions must be made. The Arab Israeli lawmaker emphasized that domestic issues would be the primary focus for any incoming government. "I say frankly, the next government will not be a government of peace [with the Palestinians]; it will not meet our hopes," he asserted. Tibi described his party's situation as a choice "between plague and cholera," with the overarching goal being the removal of the current administration. The Joint List has committed to externally supporting a government formed by the Change Bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot. This support would entail Arab parties within the Joint List not obstructing legislation proposed by such a coalition if it were to be established.
