תומצת מתוך Arutz Sheva על ידי baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched a campaign against a potential government supported by the Joint List, citing MK Osama Saadi's critical remarks about the outgoing government and Palestinians. Saadi had called the government "fascist" and a "genocidal government." The Chairman of the Joint List, Yousef Jabareen, expressed willingness to help oust Netanyahu through Jewish-Arab partnership. With partial election results showing neither bloc able to form a government alone, Arab parties may play a crucial role.

- Netanyahu called Saadi's comments about Palestinians and the government "dangerous."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has initiated a campaign against the possibility of a government being formed with the support of the Joint List, a bloc of Arab-majority parties. Netanyahu released a video featuring MK Osama Saadi, highlighting Saadi's remarks about Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. Netanyahu stated, "With these people they want to form a dangerous government. We will not let this happen!"
Netanyahu specifically attacked Saadi's characterization of the outgoing government as "fascist," a "genocidal government," and a "government of ethnic cleansing." Saadi had offered congratulations to "our people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the occupied territories, and all free people in the world" upon the government's potential downfall. Netanyahu accused Saadi, whom he called a "partner of the left bloc from the Joint List," of dedicating election results to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and "occupied Jerusalem," and of "praising the Palestinian people and terrorists in prison."
Prior to Netanyahu's statements, the Chairman of the Joint List, Prof. Yousef Jabareen, expressed readiness to work towards replacing the government through political cooperation between Jews and Arabs. Jabareen stated, "We are ready and prepared to pave the way for the ousting of the Netanyahu government." He proposed an alternative to what he described as a government of "blood, supremacy, racism, and exclusion," advocating for "genuine and equal partnership between the Jewish public and the Arab public."
The confrontation between Netanyahu and the Joint List leaders occurs as the political system awaits the final vote count and the definitive seat allocation. Partial results indicate the current coalition bloc has 54 seats and the opposition bloc has 49. The Joint List holds 11 seats, and Ra'am holds six. In this scenario, neither bloc can form a government independently, potentially positioning the Arab parties as key players in the next government formation efforts.
