Comedian Matan Peretz addressed today the actual results of the 2026 elections and the high number of seats received by the Arab parties. In a video shared on Instagram, Peretz warned against what he called "enemies with a blue ID" – Arab citizens who, according to him, do not recognize the State of Israel, take benefits without obligations, and are unwilling to call Hamas a terrorist organization. He noted that this population is what the public should fear regarding its representation in the Knesset. According to him, Members of Knesset Mansour Abbas and Ahmad Tibi, who spoke at funerals of martyrs, are the problem. The article notes that the Arab parties strengthened from 14 seats in the last poll to 17 seats in the sample, against the backdrop of a high voter turnout in the Arab sector.
