Dr. Tha'er Abu Ras: The Arabs flocked but there is no Jewish partner
Dr. Tha'er Abu Ras analyzes the historic voter turnout in Arab society: 80% turnout and over 17 seats. He attributes the increase to the rise of the far right, Ben Gvir's policies, Smotrich's incitement, and the government's endless wars. However, he argues there is no Jewish partner for cooperation, and the likely scenario is a unity government or new elections.
Dr. Tha'er Abu Ras analyzes the historic election results in Arab society, with an 80% turnout and over 17 seats. He attributes the dramatic increase to the rise of the far right over the past four years, particularly to Itamar Ben Gvir's policies, which led to a rise in the number of murdered Arabs and a doubling of house demolitions in the Negev, and to Bezalel Smotrich's incitement, who promised to "Judaize the Galilee." Another reason is the government's endless wars and the lack of a political solution, creating a sense of existential threat in Arab society. However, Abu Ras argues that despite the achievement, there is no Jewish partner for cooperation, and the most likely scenario is a unity government or new elections.
