Nine new Arab members of the Knesset are preparing for their swearing-in, representing the "HaManohelet" and Ra'am parties. Among them are two women, three individuals with doctorates, two school principals, a pharmacist, and an imam who previously coached soccer. Prime Minister Netanyahu and his supporters are reportedly engaged in a campaign to undermine the legitimacy of the votes cast by their constituents. The elections have concluded, but the struggle over the meaning of their results continues. The Likud party and its political allies are conducting a delegitimization campaign against the Arab public and its representatives, and against the possibility of a government relying on Arab parties. While questioning whether the votes of Arab citizens are a legitimate part of the political game, their spokespeople are scouring the internet for any statement that can serve their negative campaign.
