Israel's Arab parties Ra'am and the Joint List are projected to win 18-19 seats in the Knesset, a significant increase from their previous five seats each, following high Arab voter turnout. While unlikely to join a coalition, they could provide external support for a majority government. Likud reported 620 irregularities in the Arab sector, which Ra'am dismissed as politically motivated attempts to suppress turnout.
