Did 15,000 Arabs just determine Israel's new leader?
About 14,000 of Kadima's 74,000 registered voters are not Jewish, according to polling data, including 6,900 registered Arab Druze and 4,600 Muslim Arabs. The rest are largely Bedouin tribe members.
Poll stations reported that non-Jewish Kadima voters evidenced the highest turnout. Only about 50 percent of all eligible Kadima voters took part in the election.
Take note the Livni extended the elections by 30 minutes. The elections were held on the last day of the Ishcar feast were Ramadan is held everyday and at sun down they eat. Muslims planed to vote after the feast. The extra 30 minutes allowed Muslims to get to the polling stations.
Kadima member and Deputy Foreign Minister Majalli Whbee, who coordinates party issues related to the non-Jewish sector, estimated that many Muslim voters would take part in the elections, following a feast that ended the day of Ramadan fasting.
To that effect, the PA has been urging local Israeli Arab leaders to help campaign for Livni.
The Jerusalem Post reported that in some Arab polling stations, such as Beit Jan in the North, Livni crushed Mofaz
Livni has been leading Olmert's team negotiating with the Palestinian Authority in talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state, at least on paper, before January. Her election in the primaries would favor continued negotiations.
