Arab Candidates: Syria is Interfering in Election Campaign
(Ha'aretz) Yair Ettinger - Arab candidates for the 16th Knesset are claiming that Syria and Lebanon are interfering in the elections and are engaged in a propaganda drive for Balad leader Azmi Bishara. The Lebanese television station Al-Mustaqbal, owned by Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, has been running highly sympathetic interviews with Bishara, and candidates from other parties are convinced that this is on orders from Damascus and Beirut. Hadash party sources said station bosses told them "the orders have come from on high - from Damascus."
