Israeli opposition groups, including NGOs, entrepreneurs, and academics, are launching a campaign to boost Arab voter turnout in an effort to unseat Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's government.

Business figures are also contributing, and some religious leaders are encouraging participation. This mobilization of the Arab electorate is a key strategy for the opposition ahead of the parliamentary elections.
