Strongly agree

Yes

Balad, as a party that represents the Arab minority in Israel, generally supports the rights of Muslim women to wear religious attire, including the Niqāb. However, the score is not a full 5 because there may be some within the party who believe in certain restrictions for security reasons.

Agree

Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member

While Balad supports the right of women to wear the Niqāb, they may also recognize the need for identity verification at civic ceremonies for security reasons. As such, they might support a compromise where a woman's identity is privately verified by a female staff member.

Strongly disagree

No

Balad is unlikely to support a blanket ban on the Niqāb at civic ceremonies, as this would infringe on the religious freedoms of Muslim women, a significant portion of the constituency that Balad represents.
