There's Room for an Arab List: The 'Surprise' That Awaited Ardan Live

Aliza Bloch, the newest addition to the party founded by Gideon Sa'ar and Yuli Edelstein, said in an interview that she aspires to a broad government and that Arabs have a place in it, but later clarified that she would not sit with Ra'am or the Joint List.

Aliza Bloch, who recently joined the new party founded by former Likud members Gideon Sa'ar and Yuli Edelstein, said in an interview with 'Haderot Hayom' that she 'wants the broadest possible government' and that 'Arabs certainly have a place in the Israeli government.' When asked if there is room for everyone, she replied: 'Certainly, there is room for everyone.' However, in a clarification posted on her X account, she emphasized that 'we will not sit in a government with parties that support terrorism or refuse to recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization,' and that Ra'am and the Joint List are 'terror-supporting parties' and she would not sit with them. Bloch is the first to join the new party, after education was a top priority for her. These remarks come ahead of the 2026 elections.
