“If the numbers of these results were in a different country, in a democratic country, I think it would be crazy to think that they will not be able to say that they won the elections, having this majority. But only in Israel, because the voice of the Arabs do not count as the voice of the Jews, we cannot talk about a victory.”

Lapchik said that in any other democratic country the opposition would claim victory with this majority, but in Israel Arab voices do not count equally.
