The Likud commented on the Prime Minister's attempts to approach the Arab public in Israel and to prepare a coalition to avoid relying on the Joint Arab List.
"We will not form a government with Mansour Abbas or the Joint Arab List, nor will we rely on them, after opposing the peace agreements that bring Jews and Arabs closer together.
"Arab citizens of Israel support the Likud led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu because they are tired of wasting votes on the Joint Arab List that sits in the opposition and does nothing for them. They join the Likud to ensure integration, prosperity, and security in their localities. The Likud will win the elections and continue to bring tremendous achievements and take care of all Israeli citizens," the Likud responded.
