According to media sources, by 10 May 2021 the discussions between the six-party "change bloc", Yamina and the United Arab List were progressing toward a successful conclusion. Namely, both the "change bloc" and Yamina had reportedly agreed to the UAL's demands – including the legal recognition of three Negev Bedouin communities and a budget to tackle violent crime in the Arab community, thereby gaining its crucial backing – which, however, would have taken the form of a confidence and supply arrangement rather than that of a formal coalition deal. Therefore, if such a UAL-backed minority coalition had indeed been formed, it would have become the first government in Israel to have had the active support of an Israeli Arab political party.
