The upcoming elections will see the traditional Druze voting patterns, where agenda is not always the deciding factor, confront the post-October 7 reality. In the village of Sajur, Yair Golan and Hamed Amar are prominently featured on election billboards at the entrance, a common sight in Druze villages where candidates change but the tradition remains. The presence of two figures associated with the "change bloc" this time is likely not coincidental. Sajur, a village known for its voter volatility, is experiencing a shift, mirroring the changing seasons.
