The elections for the 26th Knesset gave neither bloc a majority. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats, compared with 48 for Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc, while 61 seats are needed to form a government. Both sides need to broaden their alliances: Netanyahu may seek to bring opposition parties on board, while Eisenkot is considering forming a minority government with the support of Arab parties or winning over lawmakers from his rival’s bloc. If a coalition cannot be formed, another election may follow. The Arab parties achieved a historic result, winning 19 seats as turnout in the Arab community approached 80 percent. But political disagreements and complications make it difficult to turn that support into participation in government or decisive influence over it.
