BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SEEKS TO UNDERMINE ARAB VOTERS IN ISRAELI ELECTIONS
Written by Michael Thervil
[ISRAEL BENJAMIN NETANYAHU ARAB ELECTIONS] Due to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war of genocide against the people of Palestine and being the source of why America chose to go war against Iran in conjunction with the bitter socio-economic turmoil and war that have spread across West Asia, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party has not only lost the majority vote in this year’s elections in Israel. Taking a page out of President Trump’s playbook, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now openly stated that the election has been “Stolen by Arab voters through bribery, fraud, and foreign funding”. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to provide any proof of claims of the election being stolen and has demanded that an official investigation be launched and those that may be found guilty of election fraud be arrested.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not now pushing for this voting cycle to be both canceled and start a second election. Arab voters in Israel showed up to the voting polls in the largest numbers in decades and while many Arab voters in Israel remain divided on certain social and governmental issues and policies, the one thing that they all decided that they have in common is their severe disapproval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and how he governs. The common disapproval of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amongst Arab voters appeared to be enough for all Arab voters in Israel to cast their votes against Benjamin Netanyahu in favor of another candidate of their choice.
Yesterday Political challenger to Benjamin Netanyahu, Gadi Eisenkot stated to the Press that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party are only resorting to making claims of political interference by Arab entities because “They are doing this because they lost”. While both Prime Minister Netanyahu who secured 53 seats and his opponent Eisenkot who secured 48 failed to obtain the votes necessary to secure the 61 seats of the 120 required to take office in this year's election. Although Arab voters secured 19 seats during this election cycle according to Israeli Political Analysts, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has engaged in an agenda to delegitimize them for successfully playing a major role in his loss and securing the 19 seats that they have. It was also reported by sources that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also launching a campaign to disrupt any attempts of a shared Jewish Arab alliance that will further degrade his political power within Israel.
Out of desperation and political uncertainty Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with allies Itamar Ben Gvir and Smotrich demanded that various Arab party leaders be arrested while alleging that the Qatari government played a role in funding Arab party leaders within Israel. The Qatari government has since denied any allegations of injecting themselves in the Israeli election process and called the claims made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies as “ridiculous and dangerous”.
In rebuttal, the Arab political action group called the “Joint List” which is considered to be one of the primary targets of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign of retaliation stated last week that there will be “No smear campaign [that] will erase the achievement of the Arab public, and no attempt to cast doubt on the legitimacy of our vote will change the will of the voters. “You wanted us small and weak, and you got us big and strong”.
