Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s efforts to woo Arab voters to vote for the Likud Party is bearing fruit, a new Panels Research poll taken for
Maariv found Thursday.
Likud rose by four seats since a survey by the same pollster a week ago, with two of those mandates coming from Arab voters.
Netanyahu campaigned among Arab voters in Nazareth and Umm el-Fahm this week and expressed confidence that Likud could win several seats from Arab voters who could enable his party to win as many as 42 seats in the upcoming election.
