00:00All of those things motivated the Palestinian citizens to turn out and to go out and vote.
00:12They understood that their life, their very bare life is under threat.
00:18The other is the re-establishment of the joint list.
00:23We succeeded eventually to re-establish the joint list, which the public, the Arab public in Israel, the vast majority
00:30of the Arab citizens expected us to do.
00:33And that also gave hope to the Palestinians within Israel.
00:41So in the end of the day, it's a combination of fear and hope.
00:46You know, everybody must know that in 2022, the elections, the former, the previous elections, it was exactly the same.
00:56Before the day of the elections, the Likud felt that they were going to lose.
01:00And they began already to plan to delegitimize the elections results by saying that there are plans, especially among the
01:09Arabs, to fake the results.
01:15And on the very day of the elections, they continue to say that there are serious suspicions of fraud.
01:22But once they realized they won, they stopped.
01:27But for many weeks now, and even more, the Likud fascists have been planning this scenario.
01:39And they said consistently that there are going to be frauds, that the Arab population, especially voters, are going to
01:47fake the results.
01:52And so it shouldn't not come as a surprise to anyone who followed.
01:57And on the day of the elections, once they realized that the turnout is very, very high, so they continue
02:04to even strengthen those false allegations.
02:08But those are false.
02:10The problem is, as in any dictatorship, is that the police and the security services, the Shin Bet, collaborated with
02:20Netanyahu and his thugs.
02:22And they, but eventually even they had to admit that was, that nothing was faked and there was no fraud.
02:31So, let's get started.
02:34So, let's get started.
02:36So, let's get started.
