Yousef Jabareen, Chairman of the Joint List, has stated that joining a coalition government is not a practical option for his party. In an interview with CNN, Jabareen explained that his party cannot bear responsibility for the government's policies toward Palestinians, particularly concerning the ongoing Israeli control over Palestinian territories since 1967.
Jabareen specified that joining a coalition would mean accepting responsibility for all government actions, including the occupation and military operations against Palestinians in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and East Jerusalem. He emphasized that Israel continues its occupation of the Palestinian people and territories.
These remarks come amid political discussions about forming a government that would rely on the support of Arab parties. One proposal considered was a minority government with external backing from these parties. However, this possibility has been dismissed by Avigdor Lieberman, Chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, making a government dependent on Arab parties' support unlikely at this stage.
