Secularism Can Prevail
The writer argues that the United Arab List’s winning 19 seats—about 16% of the Knesset—undermines the idea of a “state for Jews only” and makes the formation of any government dependent on Arab support. According to the article, Benjamin Netanyahu, with 53 seats, needs eight more to reach the 61-seat threshold, while Eisenkot, with 48, also needs Arab support despite rejecting their inclusion in the government. The writer therefore sees a coalition as unlikely to be formed. The article notes that counting 600,000 soldiers’ votes could add two seats to Netanyahu’s total, but would bring him only to 55. It also links the government’s fate to Donald Trump’s position and Saudi-Israeli normalization.
