According to the average of polls, only two Arab women are expected to enter the Knesset in realistic slots, with two more dependent on results. The article examines the gap between declarations of gender equality in Arab parties and actual representation. The absence of Aida Touma-Sliman from the Joint List left a significant void, and the affair surrounding Jaafar Farah, who was placed second in Hadash, brought the question of treatment of women back to the fore. Dr. Maha Karakabi-Sabah of Balad is in seventh place, Dr. Nihaya Weshahi of Hadash in ninth place, and MK Iman Khatib-Yassin of Ra'am in fifth place. Yael Yahieli, CEO of Project 5050, warns that there is a deterioration in Arab parties. The article also quotes attorney Hanan al-Sanaa, Karakabi-Sabah, and Sumaya Bashir of the Democrats, who call for substantive rather than merely symbolic representation.
