‘You need the power of all your votes’: Bedouin women secure success for Arab parties in Israeli election
With 180,000 eligible voters, Bedouin turnout was key in Palestinian-led parties winning unprecedented 19 seats Last year, Umm Khaled Fatoun returned from volunteering in a Jewish-Arab support centre for victims of war to find bulldozers tearing into her son’s house in the Bedouin village of Azzarnug. The demolition crew, who arrived under police escort, did not even allow them to remove furniture or solar panels before reducing the home and its contents to a pile of rubble.
