In Israel’s recent elections:

  • 12 Israeli Arabs elected to Israel’s Parliament
  • 50% of Israeli Arabs chose to vote
  • At least 112,000 Israeli Arabs (27%) voted for Zionist parties in exclusively Arab cities and towns:
    • 35,783 Israeli-Arabs voted for Meretz
    • 33,453 Israeli-Arabs voted for Blue and White
    • 9,404 Israeli-Arabs voted for Likud
    • 8,268 Israeli-Arabs voted for Shas
    • 6,516 Israeli-Arabs voted for Yisrael Beiteinu

Now that the newly elected Israeli Parliament has been dissolved due to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s inability to form a government, Israeli Arabs will again be experiencing the Israeli democracy in the next elections, which are set for September 17, 2019.

The next elections will once again prove wrong the Palestinian Authority’s claim that Israeli is an “apartheid state” as Israeli Arabs will be able to exercise their voting rights on equal terms with Israel’s Jewish citizens.

Palestinian Media Watch has taken a look at the statistics from the recent Israeli elections and they prove the existence of a thriving Israeli democracy.

Responding to the results of the Israeli elections held in April this year, PLO Chief Negotiator and Fatah Central Committee member Saeb Erekat, said that the vote shows Israel has a “policy of apartheid and racial segregation”:

“The preliminary results of the Israeli elections have clearly showed that the Israeli voters have voted to keep the situation as it is. They have voted to continue the occupation. They have voted to continue the apartheid and the racial segregation. In reality, the competition during the election campaign was over who on the Israeli side could continue the status quo, the policy of apartheid and racial segregation, but at a reduced cost.”
