MK Ahmad Tibi Affirms Readiness to Support Coalition Challenges in Knesset

MK Ahmad Tibi, leader of the Joint List, appeared on television on Saturday to address the political landscape following the recent elections, in which Arab factions secured 19 mandates. Addressing controversy over his alleged trip to Qatar shortly before the vote, Tibi dismissed reports as baseless manipulation, joking about rumors concerning foreign funding and state security.

Tibi stated that the Joint List would assist any effort to topple the current administration and replace the Knesset speaker, arguing that Arab votes should be treated as legitimate in parliamentary mechanisms. Commenting on potential coalition dynamics and security policies, Tibi called on opposition figures to pursue diplomatic alternatives rather than military escalation, while defending his party's positions against critics.
