Aliza Bloch, a candidate on the new list headed by Gideon Sa'ar, clarified her position on cooperation with Arab parties in an interview with 103FM. According to her, she is willing to sit with Arab representatives, who make up 20% of Israel's population, but not with parties that support terrorism. Bloch emphasized the distinction between Arabs as citizens entitled to service and partnership in the state, and Arab parties that support Hamas or do not condemn terrorism, which, in her view, cannot make decisions about sending soldiers to military service. She referred to recent polls suggesting the new party may not pass the electoral threshold, saying, "We are only two days into this." She stressed the party's goal of fostering unity and enabling Israel to be both a Jewish and a democratic state. Additionally, she defended the new alliance between Gilad Aradan and Yuli Edelstein.
