Palestinian citizens of Israel, who comprise roughly 16% of eligible voters in Tuesday's election, report that major candidates are sidelining their concerns while pledging ethnic cleansing, according to Zeteo. Diana Buttu, a Palestinian analyst, wrote that despite their significant electoral share, Palestinian citizens face a political landscape where their issues receive minimal attention from mainstream parties.
Buttu contended that across the Israeli political spectrum, candidates converge on a shared objective of displacing the Palestinian population, leaving Palestinian voters without meaningful representation of their interests or protection of their rights in the electoral process.
