Yair Golan Urges Arab Israelis to Vote Against Netanyahu
The Democratic Party, led by Yair Golan, is intensifying its campaign efforts targeting Arab Israeli citizens to boost their participation in the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for October 27. In a video message released in Arabic, Golan directly linked Arab voter turnout to the political future of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating, "If you go to vote on October 27, Netanyahu will not be Prime Minister. But if you do not vote, he will be." He emphasized that abstaining from voting is equivalent to supporting Netanyahu, asserting that the power to influence the outcome rests with the Arab electorate.
Fellow lawmaker Gilad Kariv echoed this sentiment, particularly addressing new voters. Kariv warned that not voting effectively supports Itamar Ben-Gvir, whom he described as a "fascist racist." The Democratic Party aims to leverage the Arab population's vote as a key strategy to unseat the current governing coalition.
Kariv also advocated for greater equality across various sectors, including between Jewish and Arab citizens, among different streams of Judaism, and within the educational system.
