Balad drops bomb by pulling out of Joint Arab List ahead of election

The faction will run separately from Odeh's Hadash and Ahmad Tibi's Ta'al. The development bodes well for Benjamin Netanyahu as it could strengthen the right-wing camp.

The Joint Arab List broke up on Thursday after the Balad party announced it was pulling out and would run in the upcoming election separately.

This way, only Ayman Odeh's Hadash and Ahmad Tibi's Ta'al will run together.

It is unclear whether either Islamist faction would be able to garner the necessary four seats to make it into the Knesset as polls are currently predicting the lowest-ever turnout from Arab Israeli voters.

The development does, however, bode well with Likud as the Arab factions not passing the threshold would likely diminish the size of the anti-Netanyahu bloc.

The submission of party electoral lists wrapped up on Thursday night.

Despite efforts by Prime Minister Yair Lapid for a merger, Labor and Meretz decided to run separaetly, which too could boost the right-wing camp if either of them fail to pass the electoral threshold.
