Seems that Arab towns’ average turnout is about 4-5 pp lower than Jewish towns. Still 1.5h until the polls close.

Guy Grossman @guygrossman.bsky.social · 11h

Traditionally the turnout gap between Jewish and Arab voters is 10pp. Watch out for that number. If it’s lower - Netanyahu is pretty much toast.
