There is a joint list. Will the Arabs flock to the polls?
Will the unification of the Arab parties bring about a dramatic change in voter turnout in the Arab street, and in the election results? Prof. Osnat Akirav estimates that the answer is positive.

A unified Arab electoral list is expected to boost turnout among Arab voters in Israel, according to Professor Osnat Akirb. Higher participation could shift the balance of power in the Knesset, giving Arab parties more seats and influence. The question is whether this predicted surge materializes on election day and how it reshapes coalition math.
