Balad Chairman Sami Abu Shahada stated today (Saturday) on Facebook that a due diligence should be done for the joint list project.

According to him, this is what they did in Balad after the results of the last elections. According to his view, the joint party must not recommend any of the candidates who will be the head of the major blocs for the position of prime minister.

Apart from that, said Abu Shahada, the factions that make up the joint list should not consider the question of whether Binyamin Netanyahu can to serve as prime minister as a decisive matter Abu Shahada also hinted, likewise, that there is a need for a third political current in Arab society.

"In order to move forward together, we must do a homework."

to the question and voila!

If the meaning of these things is that the joint party is on the way to dissolution, Abu Shahada said: "Political parties cannot ignore politics, and everything has to be right for its time."

He added: "I tell our partners that in order for us to move forward together, we must do a home inspection and understand why the majority of the public is not interested in participating in the elections. In our opinion in Balad, the exit from the existing crisis requires clarity and a clear political program for the public.

Also, if we don't agree on a common path, Balad is working seriously on building a new political partnership with currents and independent people in Arab and Jewish society, based on the principle of 'a state of all its citizens'."

In the meantime, the journalist Gideon Levy denied the rumors according to which he is in contact with Balad people about joining the list. "This is an unborn egg.

We met for coffee," Levy said.
