Israelis Go to the Polls – Yet Again – Amid Signs of Growing Apathy (AUDIO INTERVIEW)

One of the country’s top political scientists, however, sees no reason for a low turnout, especially among the country’s Arab voters

The citizens of politically deadlocked Israel go to the polls today for the third time in less than a year – and a recent survey indicates a high level of fatigue among Jewish voters.

The Media Line spoke with Gideon Rahat, a professor of political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, which conducted the survey. He thinks the apathy could be limited just to the campaign and that voter turnout might still be high – especially among the country’s Arab citizens.
