Head of the United Arab List, 'those who want an alternative to Netanyahu will have to talk to us'

"Anyone who wants to offer a substantial and authentic alternative to Netanyahu's bloody government will have to talk to us to pave the way for the change that the Israeli people ardently desire": this was declared by the president of the Joint List (which brings together three Arab parties) Yousef Jabareen, meaning that any party aspiring to replace Benjamin Netanyahu's government will have to dialogue with his faction, given that the partial results of the elections show that the Arab-led parties could win an unprecedented number of 19 seats in the Knesset.

“Either we continue with racism, exclusion and supremacy, or we establish a genuine Jewish-Arab partnership,” he said. Jabareen then told Ynet that he intends to "leverage political power to promote his values" and that his party is ready to "pave the way to overthrow the government of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich and send them home."
