All eyes are on Arab voters, as Israel’s election campaign begins in earnest. In the final hours before last week’s deadline to finalize party slates, the Joint List collapsed, leaving three different parties to compete for the votes of Palestinian citizens for Israel. But the breakdown of the Joint List could make those voters feel so bad that their existing participation rate drops even less.
Professor Amal Jamal of Tel Aviv University joins Election Overdose to discuss what Arab voters want and what their parties are offering, from ideology to political integration to immediate social interests. This week we also track Prime Minister Lapid’s speech from the United Nations, and why efforts to disqualify parties from running mostly (but not always) fail. And what do the new polls tell us?
