Arab Joint List splits as MK Ahmad Tibi leaves with his Ta’al party
Arab Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi formally requests the splitting of the list, which united four Arab political parties that ran together in the 2015 elections.
In a letter to Knesset House Committee chair MK Miki Zohar, Tibi asks the committee to approve him taking his Ta’al faction, whose name is an acronym for “Arab Movement for Renewal,” out of the Joint List.
Tibi is expected to run in the April 9 elections on his own after his bid to lead the Joint List failed.
