Arab Vote Shapes Deadlock
The Knesset elections produced a deadlock over forming a government. Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition fell to 53 seats, down from 64 in the previous term, while Arab lists won 19 seats after turnout reached 80%. Arab votes have become pivotal to the opposition’s efforts to form a coalition or minority government, though the lists differ over the conditions for their support. These include halting operations in Gaza and settlement activity, and repealing laws they describe as racist. The scenarios under discussion range from forging an alliance to oust Netanyahu and change the Knesset’s leadership to calling early elections, amid warnings of rising political tensions.
