Opinion | There's a cure for the 'Knesset virus' infecting Arab-Israeli politics: unity

The article discusses the phenomenon of Arab-Israeli politicians' intense pursuit of Knesset seats, which the late poet Tawfiq Ziad termed the "Knesset virus." This "virus" is characterized by an unyielding drive among party activists to secure a spot in the Knesset, often despite realistic advice to the contrary. The author notes that, unlike a bacterial infection, this "virus" is resistant to external intervention, as candidates are often bolstered by supportive entourages who affirm their leadership aspirations.
