Arab parties targeted: winning 19 seats became a crime

Israel ·

Netanyahu pointed to Qatar and Türkiye and claimed that the Arab parties founded by Palestinian citizens of Israel were financed from abroad. The internal security service Shin Bet has opened an investigation, and Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have called for Arab politicians to be arrested.

Arab citizens make up roughly a fifth of Israel's population and are represented in the Knesset through their own parties, which often sit in opposition to the government.
