After the publication of the exit polls for the elections for the 23rd Knesset Monday evening, Joint List co-leader Ayman Odeh celebrated the results, which predict his party will remain Israel's third-largest party.
"This is the greatest parliamentary achievement for Arabs and Democratic Jews since the first Knesset," Odeh said. "We know that the Arabs are flocking to the polls on droves in the last hour now that the exit polls are out, and we are on our way to 15 seats".
