"Because of Ben Gvir's house demolitions": Bedouin women flock to the polls

Social activists in the Bedouin sector estimate that more Bedouin women will turn out to vote in the upcoming elections, partly due to the home demolition policy of Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The assessments are based on impressions from the field, not on survey data.

Ahead of the upcoming elections, social activists in the Bedouin sector estimate that more Bedouin women will turn out to vote, partly due to the home demolition policy in the Negev promoted by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. According to Ali al-Nabari, a social activist from the Tel Arad area, 'Ben Gvir's wave of demolitions, which covered the entire Negev, is the main reason.' Alongside this, local initiatives are underway to encourage voting, including transportation, awareness campaigns, and recruiting women to help other women exercise their right to vote. Al-Nabari also noted the competition between the two Arab parties as an additional factor. The assessments are based on impressions from the field, not on voting data or surveys.
