A Joint List MK is mocking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 2015 election day warning that the Arabs were voting “in droves” as TV forecasts bend in the party’s favor. Netanyahu has stepped up that rhetoric in this campaign cycle as well, calling for cameras to be installed in Arab polling stations to combat alleged voter fraud.

Netanyahu’s comments got Arab voters fired up and served as a “wake-up call,” Ahmad Tibi tells Army Radio.

“Our desire to be an influential actor [in the next government] dovetailed with the desires of the public — and the Arabs voted in droves,” a triumphant Tibi says.
