Likud installs dozens of face-recognizing cameras outside Arab polls
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe ruling Likud party seems unwilling to leave Arab Israelis alone. Channel 13 reports that Likud, prohibited from posting cameras inside Arab polling stations after attempting to do so secretly in April, has installed “dozens” of facial-recognition cameras outside Arab polling stations.
The move is part of a burgeoning campaign strategy that seeks to reduce Arab turnout and mobilize right-wing voters by warning of Arabs — as Netanyahu has said multiple times today — rushing to the polls.
Channel 13’s Akiva Novick posts to Twitter a video he says shows one such camera installed last night outside a polling station in a village near Nazareth.
Likud has “no comment,” a spokesman says.
