Hadash-Ta’al, Balad sign deal to re-establish Joint List weeks ahead of Israel's election
The agreement is pending final approval by the three parties, with an official announcement expected in the coming days after negotiations over the framework appeared to reach a breakthrough.
Hadash, Ta'al, and Balad reached an agreement on Wednesday to join forces in the upcoming Israeli election, reuniting the Joint List after weeks of discussions and disagreements. The Reconciliation Committee, responsible for reuniting and restructuring the coalition, presented a framework on Tuesday night, which led to MK Ahmad Tibi, chairperson of Ta'al, withdrawing his opposition.
Although the agreement requires formal approval by the parties' institutions, a formal announcement is expected soon. The final list for the Joint List remains subject to discussion, with Ta'al's second candidate likely to be Saadi. The coalition is expected to secure a combined 14 Knesset seats, potentially increasing the representation of Arab parties in the Knesset.
