Balad chief Sami Abou Shahadeh addresses his followers on Facebook live with 1.5 hours left until the polls close.
“Go to the ballot boxes now! Don’t wait!” he says.
Abou Shahadeh predicts that with a 5% rise in Arab turnout, “we will achieve a historic victory for Balad, for our people with 12 seats.” That number refers to the four Knesset seats each of the three Arab-majority parties will receive if they pass the threshold.
