Israel is holding an election on Tuesday. Arabs make up about 20 percent of the Israeli population, but usually only a fraction vote in national elections. Now that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to annex the West Bank, will that motivate more of them to vote? Or will it be more reason to forget about it?
In Israeli elections, why is voter turnout among Arab Israelis so low?
