Hadash-Ta’al chairman Ayman Odeh calls on fellow opposition factions to join together to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “as soon as possible.”

Addressing reporters ahead of his party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset, Odeh says that the government has three aims during the current parliamentary session, “harming the West Bank…promoting the judicial coup…and preventing the Arab population from running in the next elections.”

“I call on the opposition factions to act together, in unity, against these three things, not just against one thing, but in principle against this government in all directions, and to do everything to overthrow this government as soon as possible,” he says.

“The Hadash-Ta’al faction will work to increase the voter turnout among the Arab population and democratic Jews in order to prevent the government from continuing for another term.”
