Arabic press on Israeli elections:
Mazin Hammad in Qatar’s Al-Watan
Regardless of who will win, the differences between the right, left and centre [of Israel’s politics] are not clear for those who closely watch the election from outside. They all pounce on Palestinian blood.
Rashid Hasan in Jordan’s Al-Dustur
The victory of extremists, with [Likud Party leader Benjamin] Netanyahu in the lead, would mean that the situation — i.e. the settlement and the so-called peace process — will return to square one … The Israeli state was built on massacres and genocides committed by Zionist gangs … Therefore, it is not strange if extremists win.
