"Yawmi" Podcast | Two Days to the Elections... The Decisive Battle Between Turnout and the Electoral Threshold
In a new episode of the "Yawmi" podcast, journalist Mahmoud Majadla examines the Israeli scene two days before the Knesset elections, as polls do not grant any bloc a majority of 61 seats, with the anti-Netanyahu camp leading by a narrow margin, and the final hours turning into a battle over voter turnout.
In a new episode of the "Yawmi" podcast on the "Arab 48" website, journalist Mahmoud Majadla examines the Israeli scene two days before the Knesset elections, as recent polls do not grant any bloc a majority of 61 seats, with the anti-Benjamin Netanyahu camp leading by a narrow margin. The final hours of the campaign are turning into a battle over voter turnout, and parties close to the electoral threshold are striving to prevent the loss of votes that could affect seat distribution. The episode reviews parties' attempts to organize their ranks in the final hours, alongside preparations in the Netanyahu camp to raise allegations of voting irregularities in the Arab community. It also addresses the exploitation of the Hebron operation to reinforce the security issue's presence in the campaign, while the possibility of escalation with Iran remains in the background, especially in the scenario of inconclusive election results leading to complex coalition negotiations.
