Givat Haviva’s Mohammad Darawshe Discusses Israel’s Elections on CNN International

Givat Haviva’s Director of Strategy, Mohammad Darawshe, appeared this morning on CNN International’s One World with Zain Asher and Bianna Golodryga to discuss the potentially decisive role of Arab citizens in Israel’s elections and the implications for the country’s political future.

Arab citizens, who comprise approximately 20% of Israel’s population, could play a pivotal role in determining the composition of the next government. Mohammad highlighted the significance of increased Arab voter turnout, the growing political influence of Arab parties, and the urgent need to address crime, inequality, and the full participation of Arab citizens in Israeli society.

His interview underscores the importance of Givat Haviva’s mission: advancing Jewish-Arab shared society, strengthening civic equality, and ensuring that all Israeli citizens have a voice in shaping their country's future.
