For the first time, some Druze residents of the Golan, recently granted Israeli citizenship, are preparing to participate in the national election. This marks a significant change, as historical taboos previously discouraged naturalization and voting. William Abu Awad, the Mayor of Buq'ata, anticipates widespread support for Benjamin Netanyahu among the local population. This support stems from Israel’s assistance to their relatives still living in Syria. The decision to vote represents a newfound sense of belonging and political agency for these Golan Druze citizens. This historic shift could influence the election outcome and reflects evolving political allegiances within the community. The move signals a potentially lasting political realignment in the Golan Heights.
