En målsättning som inte kommer att vara lätt att uppnå eftersom de arabiska partierna tillsammans har 11 platser i det nuvarande parlamentet.
Karinaoui vill se ett ökat samarbete mellan judar och araber och han har mycket gott att säga om sitt hemland Israel. Däremot kritiserar han skarpt de nuvarande arabiska medlemmarna i Knesset, de bara ökar på motsättningarna mellan folkgrupperna genom sitt agerande.

The Arab Knesset members do nothing to educate them or advance their situation…
But [at present] there is no alternative to the current leadership.”
By forming El Amal Lat’gir, which he says is loyal to
Israel and concerned exclusively with social matters, Karinaoui aims to provide
