Arab Seats Test Coalition
The Arab parties won 19 of the Knesset’s 120 seats in the election held on 27 October, making them an influential player in negotiations to form a government. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats and Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc 48, leaving both short of the 61-seat majority threshold. Experts say Arab participation reflected a rejection of right-wing policies, and that Eisenkot may struggle to form a government without the support of the Arab blocs. Possible outcomes include understandings between party leaders, an agreement to rotate the premiership, or a new election. Whether the Arab parties can turn their seats into influence in government will depend on their positions and their ability to unite around a common course. Consultations between President Isaac Herzog and party leaders are expected to precede his tasking a candidate with forming a government.
