Golan Druze citizens register to vote in Israeli election for first time

In a historic development, some Druze residents of the Golan Heights, recently naturalised as Israeli citizens, plan to participate in the upcoming national election. Buq’ata Mayor William Abu Awad expects many locals to support Benjamin Netanyahu, citing gratitude for Israel’s assistance to Syrian Druze communities. The shift marks the erosion of long-standing taboos against naturalisation and voting participation.
