JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Israeli Wazir-e-Azam Benjamin Netanyahu ne Mangal ko mulk ke Arab shehriyon par "polling stations par chhapa marne aur intikhabat churane" ka ilzam lagaya, jabke Israel ke aam intikhabat mein turnout kai dahaiyon ki sab se oonchi satah par pahunch gaya aur Arab qiyadat wali jamaaton ne un par ilzam lagaya ke woh apne voters ko polling stations tak laane ke liye dara kar nafrat bharka rahe hain.
X par kai posts mein Netanyahu ne Arab voters ko "Muslim Brotherhood ke himayati" qarar diya. Aik aur post mein unhon ne aik polling station par lambi qatar ki tasweer share ki, jis mein Israel ke Palestinian shehri nazar aa rahe thay, aur daen bazu ke Israeli shehriyon se apeal ki ke woh "bahar niklein aur Likud ko vote dein", aur ise "hamare liye zindagi aur maut ka masla" qarar diya. Palestinian shehri Israel ki aabadi ka taqreeban panchwan hissa hain.
Wazir-e-Khazana Bezalel Smotrich ne aakhri lamhon mein apni taraf se bhi apeal ki, aur kaha ke "Arab sector mein turnout is se pehle kabhi nahin dekha gaya", aur "khatarnak baen bazu ki hukumat" se khabardar kiya. Unhon ne likha, "Mayoos na hon! Abhi bhi jeetna mumkin hai."
"Daraane ki chaal"
United Arab List ke sarbarah Mansour Abbas ne Netanyahu ke bayanat ko "daen bazu ke voters ko mutaharrik karne aur unhein polling stations tak pahunchane ke liye daraane ki chaal" qarar diya. Joint List ki qiyadat karne wale Yousef Jabareen ne kaha ke Netanyahu jaante hain ke "hum un ki khoon aalood hukmarani ka khatma kar sakte hain". Balad ke rehnuma Sami Abu Shehadeh ne Arab shehriyon se apeal ki ke woh "hujoom ki soorat mein" nikalte rahein, aur kaha ke jin tasweeron ne "nasl parast" logon ko khauf zada kiya, unhon ne un ki bradari ka hausla barhaya.
Huqooq ki tanzeemon ne Arab qasbon mein voting par khatre ki ghanti bajayi. Israel mein Arab aqliyat ke huqooq ke liye qanooni markaz Adalah ne kaha ke use Arab voters ko bedil karne ki koshishon, aisi qataron jo bohat sust chalein ya ruk gayin, aur Arabic mein chhapi hui ballot slips ki kami ke bare mein bohat si ittilaat mili hain. Association for Civil Rights in Israel ne kaha ke kam az kam 18 aabadiyon mein takheer ki ittilaat mili hain aur Central Elections Committee se kaha ke woh tehqeeq kare "ke kya yeh takheer jaan boojh kar hai". Us ne Negev mein aik polling station par police aur National Guard ki bohat zyada maujoodgi ki bhi ittila di.
Record turnout
Central Elections Committee ke mutabiq, shaam 6 baje tak vote dene ke ehl 66.7% voters vote daal chuke thay, jabke 2022 mein isi waqt yeh sharah 57.7% thi, aur yeh pehle hi us election ke aakhri turnout se zyada hai. Committee ne Likud ki raat 10 baje (Pakistan mein raat 1 baje) ke baad bhi polling jari rakhne ki darkhwast mustarad kar di, lekin band hone ke waqt jo bhi qatar mein maujood hoga use vote dene ki ijazat hogi.
Netanyahu ne dalil di hai ke un ke sab se bare hareef, fauj ke sabiq sarbarah Gadi Eisenkot, Arab jamaaton ke baghair hukumat nahin kar sakte. Eisenkot ne un ke saath kaam karne se inkar kar diya hai, lekin kuch surat-e-haal mein yeh jamaatein Netanyahu ko hatane ke liye bahar se aqliyati hukumat ki himayat karti nazar aati hain. Voting par hamari pichhli report parhein, aur yeh bhi ke Islamabad ke logon ne The Thursday Times ko Netanyahu ki aik aur muddat ke liye koshish ke bare mein kya bataya.
