Arab party angry ballots to be printed in settlement

The Joint List is outraged that the ballot slips for the upcoming March 17 election will be printed in Karnei Shomron, a settlement in the West Bank, the Maariv daily reports.

“It’s clear that Netanyahu’s government is a settlements government,” a statement from the Arab party says. “Are there no printing businesses within the Green Line?”

The Central Elections Committee says in response: “They’re Israeli. There’s an Israeli flag there.”
