- Israel’s Arab parties could end Netanyahu’s rule if his opposition allows them to join the government.
- Israel’s election remains deadlocked after Netanyahu’s polling failures, while related coverage asks whether Jews should invite Arabs into government.
Why it matters: Netanyahu’s bloc holds 53 seats, five short of the 61 needed for a majority, while Arab parties are projected to hold 19. Their inclusion is therefore decisive to Netanyahu’s effort to form a government by October 30, and the coalition choice also becomes the democratic test highlighted by the New York Times.
