Arab-majority parties worried about turnout in Arab towns
Voters in Umm al-Fahm and Iksal, Arab towns in the north, start to arrive at voting booths.
Ahmad Darawshe, assistant to Hadash-Ta’al candidate and veteran lawmaker Ahmad Tibi, expresses concern about voter apathy in Arab communities.
“Today, we are confronting indifference to voting in the Arab community,” he tells The Times of Israel outside of the Razi School in Iksal. “The situation is worrying, but party activists are doing extra work to encourage people to vote.”
