Arab voters in Israel turn out in force, win new Knesset seats
A united effort helped Arabs in Israel claim two more parliament seats that they hope will translate to a better quality of life.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Nermin Mawaad of Nazareth boycotted the April 2019 Israeli legislative election, but was determined to vote this month.
She told Al-Monitor that because Arab parties ran this time with a unified slate of candidates and because of the dangers haunting Palestinians in the territories in the wake of Washington's peace plan for the Middle East, she felt driven to vote and persuade others to do so too.
