Joint List’s Tibi: Today we’ll make history and win at least 15 seats

Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi votes in his hometown Taibe alongside his mother, brother and two daughters.

“Today, we will make history. We are going to realize an unprecedented achievement — at least 15 seats,” he tells reporters before casting his ballot.

Though he is not the leader of the predominantly Arab list, Tibi has been demonized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu throughout the campaign as its face, with the slogan “It’s either Bibi or Tibi.”
