Palestinian lawmaker accuses Netanyahu of using scapegoating tactics over Arab voter turnout

Middle East Eye's James Schneider speaks with Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli Knesset, who says that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies' claims of foreign interference and voter fraud are typical tactics used by a defeated "dictator".

Cassif added that Netanyahu is resorting to incitement and scapegoating to maintain his grip on power, calling the accusations directed at Arab Palestinian citizens a "racist blood libel".
