Joint Lit MK Ahmad Tibi says the predominantly Arab faction will back a proposal to dissolve the Knesset that is slated to be voted on tomorrow.
“If the [bill] comes up [for a vote] — the Joint List will vote in favor,” he tells Army Radio. “This government, on issues critical to the Arab public, is worse than the previous one.”
Meanwhile, Channel 12 news reports that senior officials in Ra’am and the Southern Islamic Movement’s Shura Council — an advisory body to the party — have held talks with the Joint List on possibly reuniting in the event of new elections.
Ra’am was previously part of the Joint List, which is made up of several factions, but it ran alone in the March 2021 elections. It later joined the ruling coalition formed after the vote, making it the first Arab Israeli party to do so in decades, though it recently froze its membership in the coalition due to tensions in Jerusalem.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
