The chairman of the Joint List party, Ayman Odeh, responded Saturday to Omer Bar-Lev's (Labor) allegation that Odeh would potentially dismantle the Joint List, saying 'I do not know what MK Bar-Lev based his statement on, nor how he reached this absurd conclusion.' Odeh added that 'We have proven that we [the Joint List] are determined to remain united in order to maximize our political power and influence, for the benefit of the Arab public and all the citizens [of Israel].'
