Options for Minority Rule
The election gave neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor his rival, Gadi Eisenkot, a Knesset majority. Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats and Eisenkot’s 48, while forming a government requires 61. Netanyahu needs to win over opposition parties, despite prominent figures rejecting an alliance with him. Eisenkot, meanwhile, could seek to form a minority government with the support of the two Arab lists, which hold 19 seats, or attract defectors from his rival’s bloc. But support from the Arab parties could leave his government fragile. If neither side can form a coalition, Israel will have to hold another election.
