Iman Al Khateeb

Editor’s note: Iman Al Khateeb is re-submitting her name in the United Arab List to fight the next Israeli to be held on 27 October, 2026. She was first elected to the Israeli parliament in March 2020. She made history as the first women to be elected under the Arab list and the first Hijabi woman to have ever won a seat in the Knesset.

She writes:

After placing my trust in God, I submitted my candidacy two days ago for membership in the United Arab List, specifically for the seat designated for women. This candidacy is based on a solid foundation of work and dedication, and on five years of parliamentary and field experience, all of which has been dedicated to serving the women and men of my community.

This experience was not merely about a position or post, but a responsibility I have borne and will continue to bear with utmost integrity. What has guided me at every step, and will always remain my compass, is my deep commitment to you and my belief in our ability to bring about change and create a better reality.

Today, I renew my pledge to you and for you, promising to remain among you, working for your benefit and championing your causes with unwavering strength and sincerity.

O God, guide us to the paths of righteousness, and grant us success in what is best for our people and our community.

CROSSFIREARABIA – July has seen the highest number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of 2026 and it was a month seen as the most deadly. The Health Information Center of the Health Ministry in Gaza stated Israeli military strikes killed 152 people in July alone. It added this is the highest since the beginning of 2026 and that the number of deaths registered by hospitals came from all over the Gaza Strip. The highest number of deaths related to children at 21 killed, women at 14 and the elderly, at four who lost their lives to Israeli fire. The center added this shows that Israeli military targeting is increasingly towards neighborhoods and residential places. The Israeli military is continuing to violate the ceasefire agreement reached last October 2025 by maintain its military strikes from the air and through the tanks towards the tents and displaced people. This is while they are continuing to destroy homes and infrastructure inside the so-called “yellow line,” as well as hindering the entry of goods and aid into the Strip.
