Arab Parties Offer Support to Oust Netanyahu, Face Opposition Silence
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Israel's Arab parties, projected to win 19 seats, have offered to support an alternative government to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has not yet responded. The Joint List and Ra'am parties cited high Arab voter turnout and frustration with the current government's policies as reasons for their increased representation. While the Arab parties are willing to provide external parliamentary support, cooperation remains politically contentious within Eisenkot's bloc, which faces internal divisions over relying on Arab lawmakers.
