A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported today, Thursday, that the National Democratic Assembly Party in the occupied interior is considering withdrawing from the Joint List and running independently in the upcoming Israeli Knesset elections on the first of next November.

Sami Abu Shehadeh , head of the party, told the Hebrew newspaper that there is an attempt to add public figures from among the Arab community to the party.

Some parties of the Joint List are seeking to end the crisis, prepare their list by the middle of next month, and present the lists early, amid doubts about the possibility of success of this step.
