In a significant move marking the first major cooperation and power-sharing, the Knesset Arrangements Committee, operating under the 'Change Bloc' mandate, has granted the United Arab List (Ra'am) a seat on the Knesset's most critical committee overseeing the defense establishment. This decision is seen as a substantial increase in Ra'am's influence within the new Knesset, which is under the control of the 'Change Bloc'.

The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee receives in-depth security briefings, classified intelligence, and unprecedented access to the defense system's operations. Member of Knesset Yoav Segalovitz will represent the party on the committee, though Ra'am retains the ability to replace him with any of its other Knesset members at any time.
