An Israeli Arab politician from the Joint List party's Hadash-Ta'al faction called Wednesday for a "genuine and equal Jewish-Arab partnership" to counter far-right politics, according to Middle East Eye. The co-leader stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc would have won an outright majority in elections without Arab voter participation and support from dovish Jewish voters.
The Hadash-Ta'al co-leader's remarks reflected efforts by Arab political forces to forge broader coalitions against the Netanyahu-led government and its far-right allies. Arab citizens and left-leaning Jewish voters have positioned themselves in opposition to the current coalition's direction on key policy issues.
