Joint List leader: Removing Netanyahu and forming new government is top priority
Ahmad Tibi says the Joint List's main goal is to oust Benjamin Netanyahu as Israeli prime minister and work toward establishing an alternative government.
Ahmad Tibi, leader of the Joint List parliamentary bloc, has declared that the coalition's primary objective is to remove Benjamin Netanyahu as Israeli prime minister and to collaborate on establishing a new government. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Tibi emphasized that Netanyahu remains intent on undermining the election results.
Tibi explained that the Joint List will wield considerable influence in Knesset committees, highlighting that their role will encompass more than mere political positions, but also active involvement within parliamentary committees.
Critiquing Netanyahu, Tibi labeled the Israeli prime minister's incitement against Arab citizens of Israel as "blatant" and suggested that Avigdor Lieberman's refusal to cooperate with Arab parties carries racist implications. The Joint List leader affirmed that the coalition's aim is to offer a "safety net for our Arab community in Israel" as part of their forthcoming political and parliamentary endeavors.
