Israeli opposition leader Yair Golan met with Gadi Eisenkot on Thursday following elections that left neither the ruling bloc nor the opposition with a Knesset majority. Golan has pushed for including Arab parties in a coalition, a move opposed by other opposition leaders like Eisenkot and Avigdor Liberman. The election results show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc with 53 seats and the opposition with 48, leading to a political deadlock with potential for new elections or a unity government.
