The demise of the Joint Arab List threatens despite a reconciliation meeting on Sunday night.
Talks between the four parties that make up the alliance have so far failed to close the internal fissures.
“It was not an easy conversation. There will be further discussion and meetings in the coming days. I hope we can move forward, but it’s too early to say whether it will succeed or not,” former Hadash MK Mohammad Barakeh said in a phone call with The Times of Israel.
Barakeh, who hosted the first four-way meeting between party leaders since new elections were called for March, said that the talks dealt with “the relationship between the Arab parties and the government,” without elaborating.
