For the Arab parties, this is not going to the polls – but going to war

An opinion piece on Channel 14 claims that the Arab parties view voting in the elections as 'going to war' aimed at toppling the right-wing government and assisting the Palestinians, using value-laden moral terminology.

An opinion piece on Channel 14 claims that the Arab parties in Israel, Ra'am and the Joint List, view going to the polls in the upcoming elections as nothing less than 'going to war'. According to the article, their main goal is to topple the right-wing government led by Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben Gvir, which it calls 'the abominable trinity'. It further claims that they also act for the residents of Gaza and the 'West Bank', and that for the leaders of the Islamic Movement, this is a religious and national mission. The article relies on a Channel 14 poll according to which the Arab parties are expected to win 14 seats, but does not include direct quotes from Arab officials.
