- MK Yitzhak Kroizer warned of Arab riots if Ra'am party votes are disqualified.
- Kroizer urged the public to arm themselves in anticipation of unrest.
- The warning references the "Guardian of the Walls" riots of May 2021.
- Allegations of irregularities, including fuel voucher distribution, surround the election.

Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer of the Otzma Yehudit party has issued a stark warning, predicting widespread Arab riots if votes for the Ra'am party are disqualified due to alleged irregularities in the 26th Knesset elections. Kroizer expressed his concerns in a post on the social media platform X, suggesting that such a disqualification could trigger events similar to the "Guardian of the Walls" riots of May 2021.
He specifically referenced Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, who also serves as the Chair of the Central Elections Committee. Kroizer stated, "When Sohlberg disqualifies votes for Ra'am, the Arabs will go out for Guardian of the Walls 2. Go out and arm yourselves!" The MK's warning comes amid allegations of fuel voucher distribution, financial transfers, and other irregularities at polling stations during the recent elections, prompting calls for an investigation into potential election interference.
The "Guardian of the Walls" refers to the severe inter-communal violence and riots that erupted in mixed cities and other locations across Israel in May 2021, coinciding with military operations in Gaza. Kroizer's statement implies a fear that a decision to disqualify Ra'am's votes could reignite similar unrest.
