Arab parties

The response we encountered in Arab communities was deeply moving. People did not simply express their support. They took the initiative themselves, and convinced others to go out and vote.

If Israel ends up with a unity government, the country will get moderation whether it voted for it or not. The majority Zionist public will land in the middle for lack of anywhere else to go.

Israel’s Jewish identity should never be an excuse to deny equality to Arab citizens. And equality for Arab citizens should not require abandoning the Jewish national character of the state.

It is bad enough to discover that Jews can be every bit as racist as anyone else. But where is common sense? Where is political logic?

Local activists from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party said Ben-Gvir’s aggressive rhetoric and combative statements had failed to deliver electoral gains in southern Israel.

The opposition is considering direct elections for prime minister, reviving Netanyahu's 2021 proposal as coalition negotiations remain deadlocked.

The Prime Minister's son, Yair Netanyahu, claimed Israel "cannot survive long-term when 20% of its population identifies with its enemies and wants its destruction."

Israel does not need you to make everyone agree. It needs you to help ensure that Israelis can continue to live, compete, and govern together even when they do not.

The Mossad is assisting the Shin Bet in investigating whether Qatar funded elements of the Joint List's apparatus, though officials emphasize election results remain unaffected.

The opposition should stop overthinking, get out of its own way, thank the Arabs for their support, and get on with saving the country.
