Many are pinning their hopes on Mansour Abbas to fulfill the desire of more than 70% of Arab citizens to join the government • The Arabs, and especially the younger generation, are thirsty to be part of the circle of influence and decision-makers
The vote of the Arab citizens in the fourth election is divided into two parts.
The first, an expression of distrust in the Arab leadership when the proof - a decrease from the representation of 15 seats for the four parties on the list, to 6 seats for the three parties.
Second, the entry of the Southern Islamic Movement is independent as a result of the "Conservatism, Influence and Integration" campaign.
The Arab citizens have proved for the second time in one year that they punish the Arab Knesset members and do not go out to vote.
Many are now throwing their jewels and pinning their hopes on the new leader born of the Arab public, Mansour Abbas, who may fulfill the desire of more than 70% of Arab citizens to join the coalition and government;
Because the Arab public is thirsty to be part of the circle of influence, part of decision-making, and most importantly - part of political and parliamentary action.
The turnout of Arab citizens in the Knesset vote is about 50%, which should concern all political leadership in Israel, both Jewish and Arab, as it stands in stark contrast to their turnout in Arab local elections, and those involved, which is more than 90%.
The Arab public will actively participate and even "fight" in places where it can reach points of influence on what is being done and decision-making, and be part of the leadership.
The vast majority of the Arab public, especially the younger generation, want, are interested and seek to be an integral part of everything that is done in Israel - in academia, economics, education, and yes - also in politics, but the opportunity has not yet been given.
It can be attributed to the abysmal differences in attitudes and ideologies that have existed so far between representatives of the Arab public, members of the Knesset, and those who have been or are in power.
Even the left-wing candidates who came to power with the help of the Arab citizens did not bother to do so and anyone who dares to negotiate with the Arab parties - will become a leper and even a traitor.
And we all remember how Benny Gantz gritted his teeth and was even ashamed of his recommendation of the joint list to the president.
All parties, Arab and Zionist, have to do the mental arithmetic, and it is better for them to learn to work together;
Because politics is the art of the possible.
The party that should form the next government should see the representatives of the Arab public as an integral part of all negotiations for the formation of the coalition.
Because in politics, a price is paid, and the price for forming a government will probably be the integration of 20% of the country's citizens in the Israeli fabric of life at any time and place.
