Another part of this statement states: "Qatar should not become a shield for the political failures of some captive Israeli politicians." "Instead of diverting attention to Qatar, they should focus on their constituents, try to improve people's daily lives and compensate for the damage they have caused in the region."
The "Joint List" party, which is a coalition of mainly captive Arab Israeli parties, also rejected Benjamin Netanyahu's claim of fraud and foreign interference in the elections as baseless and accused him of trying to cast doubt on the results of the vote.
The coalition statement said: "The provocative campaign of Netanyahu and his fascist coalition against the voices of the Arab citizens reveals their fear of the political power of this community."
While most of the electoral votes have been counted, the Arab parties have so far won 19 seats; An unprecedented figure that can give them a decisive role in power equations and the formation of a government.
