Alegeri Israel, episodul 5. Principalele partide în competiția electorală: Partidele arabe ar putea deține balanța puterii în Knesset

Arab parties in Israel will run separately in the upcoming elections, potentially holding the balance of power. The Joint List, comprising Hadash, Ta’al, and Balad, is projected to secure 8-9 seats, while Ra’am may gain 5-6. With neither the ruling coalition nor the opposition likely to achieve a majority, the Arab parties could influence government formation. However, they are unlikely to collaborate with the current right-wing coalition due to its anti-Arab stance. The main concern for Arab voters remains violent crime in their communities, with a significantly higher murder rate compared to the rest of society. Political representation for Arab citizens is also a pressing issue, as their voter turnout lags behind that of Jewish citizens.
