The Future of the Negev party is made up of 20% women, aiming to threaten the Islamic Ra'am faction and the predominantly Arab Joint List; 'Our goal is to put the Negev on the economic-educational map,' says party official.

Israel's fifth snap national vote in three years has not yet officially been called, but the election campaign already appears to be in full swing. This time the Arab political establishment looks to be on the edge with the announcement of a new party being formed, which vows to work for the politically-homeless Bedouin sector. 

The Future of the Negev party aims to break up Ra'am and Joint List's authority over the Arab vote.
