    Small voter turnout in Golan Druze communities

    Elections for local councils in Golan Heights Druze communities are being held for the first time since 1967, according to journalist Guy Varon.

    What began a year ago as a hope for local democracy and the actual implementation of Israeli law, has become, thanks to President Bashar Al-Assad's victory in Syria, a boycott and struggle. Since the morning, a few dozen have voted in the shadow of a threat to a religious and social boycott. In demonstrations against the elections, the police used tear gas.
