NAZARETH, Israel, Oct 19 (Reuters) – Israel’s Palestinian leaders are urging people in the minority Arab community to vote in big numbers in next week’s election as they seek to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and topple the most right-wing government in the country’s history.
High turnout by the 21% Arab minority, who are Palestinian by heritage but Israeli by citizenship, could nudge Israel’s complex coalition arithmetic in favour of an anti-Netanyahu bloc led by a former military chief, Gadi Eisenkot.
