Summary

Pollsters expect turnout among Israel's Arab voters to reach 63% in the upcoming election, up 7% from 2022, and that turnout could make or break hopes of unseating Netanyahu, according to The Times of Israel. The opposition bloc is largely against Arab parties joining a coalition, so community leaders hope they can still wield influence. The BBC reports that Arab parties could hold a critical balance of power in the election, noting that disaffection has often driven down turnout among Arab Israelis, but that there is a strong push to get rid of the right-wing governing coalition.
