Al Jazeera English, Truthout and The New York Times report that turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel was unprecedented in Israel's parliamentary election held on October 27. The outlets say some towns with Palestinian residents recorded participation above 70 percent, compared with 45 to 65 percent in recent years. Al Jazeera English says the surge could affect whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu keeps his right-wing coalition, and cites measures by the current government as encouraging turnout. Truthout quotes a Jaffa voter who said she feared losing everything if the government stayed in power. The Times describes Arab parties as a political reality that cannot be ignored.
