Did the experiment fail? 70% of Israelis don’t want Arabs in future coalition – Jpost Poll – By Gil Hoffman (Jerusalem Post) / May 26, 2022
Netanyahu cannot form government in three scenarios • Ben-Gvir would receive six seats
An overwhelming majority of Israelis do not want to see an Arab party in a future government that would be formed after the next election, according to a poll taken for The Jerusalem Post.
In addition, the groundbreaking poll found that in three different scenarios – of the current list of parties and different configurations of politicians and mergers – Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud comes out on top but would consistently fall short of the 61 seats needed to form a coalition.
According to the poll conducted by Panels Politics Research following a year of Ra’am (United Arab List) being in the coalition, 69% – almost three quarters of the country – do not want an Arab party in the government next time, 22% would be in favor, and nine percent said they do not know. The number of people opposed to an Arab party in the coalition includes 40 percent of Israeli-Arabs.
