Most young Arab Israelis are willing to vote for non-Arab parties, demand solution for crime - poll
Sixty percent of respondents said they would consider voting for a non-Arab party if it presented a clear plan to address issues important to them.
A recent poll conducted by the Arab-Jewish Center for Empowerment, Equality, and Cooperation – Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Economic Development (AJEEC-NISPED) reveals that most young Arab Israelis are willing to vote for non-Arab parties, provided they present a clear plan to address crime and violence. The survey, which collected data from 257 Arab Israelis aged 18-26 in August, found that 60% of respondents would consider voting for a non-Arab party if it addressed their concerns.
Crime and violence topped the list of priorities for young Arab Israelis, with 55% identifying them as a key issue when choosing whom to vote for. Other concerns included employment and income opportunities (22%), education (20%), and housing (19%). The poll also found that 70% of respondents believe that political parties in Israel do not listen sufficiently to young people in Arab society, emphasizing the need for practical plans with goals, budgets, and accountability.
