Liberal US Jewish leaders are urging Israel's opposition parties to form a coalition with Arab parties to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following an election where neither Netanyahu's nor Gadi Eisenkot's bloc secured a majority. The success of Arab parties, gaining 19 seats, positions them as potential kingmakers. US groups cite the need for inclusivity and preventing far-right influence, though challenges remain regarding the Arab parties' political platforms and opposition pledges.
