🚨🇮🇱 Arab turnout is SURGING in Israel's election, and Netanyahu strongholds are currently trailing the opposition.
As of 4 PM, turnout in Arab-party strongholds stood at 49.3%, compared with 49.8% in Netanyahu strongholds and 53.6% in opposition strongholds.
Since 1 PM, turnout jumped 24.2 pts in Arab strongholds, the fastest increase of the 3 blocs, versus 23 pts for the opposition and 21.4 for Netanyahu areas.
The figures classify strongholds as localities where a bloc received more than 60% of the vote in 2022, so they aren't direct measures of how individuals are voting.
With Arab turnout potentially crucial to forming Israel's next government, that afternoon surge is one to watch.
