Lapid presented the Yesh Atid list to the Knesset (Walla system!)

The Yesh Atid party rejected today (Saturday) the claims that party chairman Yair Lapid is responsible for the dramatic split in the joint list. "Yesh Atid and Prime Minister Lapid were not involved in the split of the joint list and we have no idea who is spreading this nonsense or why," the party said.

However, Welfare Minister Meir Cohen said that the splitting of the Hadash and Tal lists from Balad is a positive move.

"It is good that Balad and Sami Abu Shahada stay out of the Knesset," he said. According to him, one of the reasons why the joint list was not part of the government is the extreme statements of Balad members.

"I don't regret that they left, Abu Shahada's statements are beyond criticism, they are trying to tattoo us, and call us racists and the IDF an occupation army."

"Spreading nonsense".

With the closing of the lists and their delivery to the Central Election Commission on Thursday, Balad announced the withdrawal and split from the other two parties that make up the joint list. Following this, various sources claimed that Lapid worked behind the scenes to cause a split, with the goal that Hadash and Tal would recommend him to the Prime Ministership. Today, Yesh Atid rejected the same claims.

The disagreements between the parties were about the sixth place on the list, and the question of whether or not there would be a rotation on it.

Ahmed Tibi said that the split "is very unfortunate. We really wanted to keep the joint".

The chairman of the list, Ayman Odeh said: "We did want a partnership like in the past, but there is no doubt that the most interesting list is Hadash-Ta'al because the right-wing bloc stands at 58 and the change bloc at 55 and we have 6 mandates that decide the elections.

" everything in order to raise the percentage of obstruction in Arab society and we will do everything to put everyone on the same footing until they respect our rights," Odeh added.

MK Abu Shahada from Balad responded to the split and told the members of the committee: "We intend to submit The Balad list that created a democratic alternative among all the lists that came out. Balad has been around for decades and has contributed to the democratic idea and the development of the idea of ​​a state for all its citizens and the resolution of the conflict, which in our view has been going on for too long."
