As of 11 a.m. 10% of Israeli Arabs voted as opposed to only 3% at this time in the last election, according to the Arab Joint List party.
Likud sent an SMS to voters that “voting percentages tripled among the Arab population! The concern is coming true: The call by [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] and American money are bringing Arabs to the polls. Go vote!”
Joint List could win 15-16 seats. Not good news for Zionist Union.
That reduces their overall seat gain today.
After Bibi said he is no longer for the 2 state solution, I am sure that a number of Arab Israelis woke up and said they better vote for someone?. Pundits earlier today suggested that the vote might be as high as 80%. OUr country should do so well.
