A Historic Show of Strength for Israel’s Arab Minority
Voters supporting two leading Arab parties turned out in record numbers to voice their opposition to the Netanyahu government in Tuesday’s election.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on a picture of a very close Israeli election with no clear winner, and several, including France 24, BBC News and the Guardian US, say the Netanyahu bloc is projected to fall short of a majority. Framing diverges in what they foreground: France 24 and the Guardian US stress Arab or Palestinian parties making gains, PBS NewsHour emphasizes a possible change in government, and the New York Times alone centers the Arab minority’s “historic show of strength.”
