  "account": "The Joint List, comprised of Hadash, Ta al, and Balad, is set to officially reunite this week without Raam, according to Yousef Jabareen, the recently appointed chairman of Hadash-Ta al. Jabareen, who will lead the party's Knesset slate, stated that negotiations for the order of the reestablished Knesset slate were facing difficulties over the parties' demands. To expedite the process, the parties decided to empower a Consensus Committee to determine the final makeup of the slate, which is expected to be completed by the end of the week. Jabareen revealed that the committee is anticipated to finalize the slate and the parties will subsequently accept the decision, officially launching the Joint List. The reformed alliance aims to contest the upcoming elections on October 27, with polls indicating that if the Arab parties run together, they will secure more seats than in separate runs. Jabareen confirmed that the door remains open for Raam to join the alliance ahead of the elections, but emphasized that waiting for Raam's decision would prolong negotiations. The party's primary objective is to replace the current government and remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power, citing the government's dangerous policies and threats to the Arab public's basic rights.",
