🔶 The captives of the Arab party declared their willingness to oust Netanyahu.
Ahmed Taibi, a captive Israeli Arab politician and one of the leaders of the "Joint List" coalition, announced that this coalition is ready to cooperate with Jewish parties opposed to the government in order to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from power. He emphasized that the Arab parties do not demand to be in the cabinet or receive a ministerial position for this cooperation.
Pointing to the necessity of changing the captive Israeli government, Taibi said: "We want to do things we haven't done in the past to remove this criminal government."
This proposal was made after parliamentary elections on Tuesday (27 October) ended without a majority for either of the two main political camps.
In the Knesset elections, the right-wing coalition supporting Netanyahu won 53 seats and his opposition parties led by Gadi Eisenkot won 48 seats. On the other hand, the two Arab coalitions won a total of 19 mandates. The "Joint List" with 11 seats and the "United Arab List" party known as Ream led by Mansour Abbas with eight seats, can now play a decisive role in determining the composition of the future government.
