In Israel’s election, Arab parties won a record 19 seats in the 120-seat Knesset — up from 10 seats in the previous election.

The historic shift was driven by a surge in turnout among Arab voters.

Some voters say the result has exceeded their “wildest dreams” but others doubt it will lead to meaningful change.

    Both sides have said they will not form a coalition with the Arabs.

    Unsurprising words from a bunch of apartheid racist.

      the Arabs

            Yeah, bad wording on my part. I was thinking of the corruption he was being tried for, but there is a whole lot more than that
