Balad leader Sami Abu Shehadeh casts his vote in Jaffa, urging the public to vote for the Arab nationalist party to combat racism in Israel.
“The problem in Israel is not Netanyahu or Lapid, the problem is racism. That must be combated and that’s why people vote Balad,” says Abu Shehadeh.
Abu Shahadeh came to vote with his family, in the mixed Jewish-Arab city, where “people get along,” a poll worker says.
As he addresses the press Abu Shehadeh turns to his wife, Ihsan Fary Abu Shehadeh, to ask her “Whom did you vote for?”
She pats him on the chest and said “Sami, only for Sami.”
