The party submitted a petition to the Israeli Central Election Committee to prevent National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Otzma Yehudit party from using home demolitions in Arab communities for electoral purposes. The petition alleges that authorities are using demolition operations as political propaganda to discourage voter turnout. Additionally, the Joint List released a campaign advertisement featuring drone footage of destruction in the Gaza Strip. The video, broadcast on Israeli television, criticizes the Israeli public and media for normalizing the situation, with narration stating, ‘As if tens of thousands of people had not been killed... As if entire cities had not been destroyed and turned into wasteland.’ The party positions itself as the sole entity opposing what it describes as a ‘war of destruction.’ ## Timeline ### 2026-10-20: Joint List releases campaign video showing Gaza destruction The Joint List has released a campaign video using drone footage to highlight the scale of destruction in Gaza, criticizing the Israeli public and media for overlooking the humanitarian reality. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/joint-list-releases-campaign-video-showing-gaza-destruction ### 2026-10-18: Joint List petitions to stop Ben-Gvir using home demolitions for electioneering The Joint List petitioned Israel's election committee to stop Itamar Ben-Gvir from using home demolitions in Arab communities for political campaigning ahead of the October 27 elections. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/joint-list-petitions-to-stop-ben-gvir-using-home-demolitions-for-electioneering --- Cite as: Joint List political campaign in Israel.
