Arab Bloc Signals Willingness to Back Coalition Seeking to Oust Netanyahu
The Arab-led bloc says it will back Gadi Eisenkot without joining a coalition, a move that could help build an anti-Netanyahu majority.
- On Thursday, the Arab-led Joint List announced it would back Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government, bolstering his chances of replacing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The Joint List won 11 seats and Ra'am won 8 in the 120-member Knesset, making them crucial to forming an anti-Netanyahu majority against his coalition's 53 seats.
- Ahmad Tibi, a senior Joint List member, said the party seeks a "repair government" to improve Palestinian citizens' lives by ending Netanyahu's rule and addressing violent crime in Arab communities.
- Eisenkot has required Arab-led parties to label Hamas a terrorist group, a condition the Joint List refuses, rejecting what they call the "racist Zionist consensus" in Israel.
- Tibi argued that if Jewish-led parties reject the Joint List's support, it would prove Israel is "an ethnocracy, not an absolute democracy for all citizens," highlighting the stakes of this alliance.
