‘The biggest motivation is fear’: High turnout among Israel’s Palestinians could unseat Netanyahu
The Knesset is up for grabs next week and the Arab community is desperate to topple the far-right ruling coalition As the sun set over the town of Kfar Qasim, Palestinian citizens of Israel gathered over hot knafeh pastries and shots of strong cardamom-laced coffee to hear an urgent pitch for their votes. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel’s population and their votes are likely to be critical to efforts to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition in elections next week.
