Arab Israelis

NPR

Published May 26, 1996 at 10:00 PM MDT

Israel will elect its next prime minister on Wednesday. Robert talks with an Arab family from Acre (AY-kr), a coastal city in northern Israel. The Mansour family, and their inlaws, have prospered in the peace that Prime Minister Shimon Peres has celebrated throughout his campaign. While most Arab Israelis vote for obscure leftist Arab parties, Israel's Arab elite generally hopes to maintain the relative peace which is now prevailing in Israel. The Mansour family will likely support Peres in Wednesday's election.
