Pollster: 'Never seen' such a low turnout for Palestinian citizens of Israel

Camil Fuchs, a pollster for Haaretz and Channel 13, said that there had been a very low turnout among Israel's Palestinian citizens in Tuesday's election.

"We have never seen such things, and this may be the biggest drama," she told Haaretz.

Hadash-Taal politcians Ahmad Tibi also warned that the low turnout could risk Palestinian parties being kept out of the Knesset.

“The low turnout in Arab towns is a real threat to both [Arab-majority] lists,” Tibi said on Twitter.

He warned it could mean “a serious blow to Arab representation in the Knesset.”
