Israeli authorities arrested activists with the Palestinian-led Ra'am party in the Negev, according to Middle East Eye. The party's leader accused the authorities of attempting to suppress their election campaign through the arrests.
Ra'am, which has parliamentary representation in Israel's Knesset, has faced periodic tensions with Israeli security forces over its political activities and advocacy for Palestinian rights within Israel's borders.
