The United Arab List (UAL) held a large public gathering in Sakhnin on Saturday, November 7, 2026, to celebrate its electoral victory, securing eight seats in the Knesset. For five hours, the party welcomed delegations from various towns and regions, thanking the public for their trust and support. The event featured speeches by local authority heads, UAL branch leaders, activists, academics, and religious figures who congratulated the party and urged them to leverage their success to "overthrow the current government, participate in forming a government of change, achieve gains for the Arab community, and confront policies of incitement and racism."
UAL lawmakers also addressed the attendees, expressing gratitude for the support and reaffirming their commitment to their election pledges. Dr. Mansour Abbas, head of the UAL, specifically thanked supporters from the Negev and its women for their "honorable stance." He emphasized the UAL's commitment to its strategic goals: toppling the current government and becoming a partner in a new government that prioritizes combating crime and violence, halting demolitions, ending incitement and racism, addressing land and housing issues, and approving budgets for Arab communities.
Abbas stressed that the UAL would serve all members of the Arab community, including Muslims, Christians, and Druze, across the Galilee, Triangle, and Negev regions, in partnership with local authorities and professional teams. Regarding the political landscape, Abbas stated that the government's fall is imminent and that the UAL's participation in the next coalition depends on other parties' stances. He insisted on the UAL being a "true partner in decision-making," asserting, "We are not orphans at the tables of the stingy." He added that the UAL has become a central player that cannot be ignored, and it will wisely and rationally use its influence to serve the Arab community, promote coexistence between Arabs and Jews, and advance peace in the region, warning that anyone who ignores the UAL will be the loser.
