  1. Arab parties back Gadi Eisenkot to form Israeli government

    Arab-led parties in Israel have endorsed opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government after winning a record 19 parliamentary seats. The Joint List, led by Jabareen, is urging other opposition holdouts to accept the political reality and cooperate to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from power. While Eisenkot has opened the door to a coalition with Arab parties, the political environment remains tense, with some reports indicating a week of delegitimizing rhetoric following the election results.

    Why it matters

    The record gains by Arab-led parties position them as kingmakers in a deadlocked parliament. This shift creates a potential path for the opposition to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu if Jewish and Arab parties can align.

    • Arab-led parties won a record 19 parliamentary seats.
    • The Joint List backs Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government.
