TEL AVIV, July 29 (Reuters) – A new Jewish-Arab political party is courting young voters ahead of Israel’s October election. But critics say it risks weakening the bid by the already underrepresented Arab minority to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his rightist government.
Israeli by citizenship and Palestinian by heritage, Israel’s Arabs make up a fifth of the population but historically have voted at lower rates than Jewish Israelis.
