Israel's recent election resulted in a political deadlock, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition able to secure a majority. High Arab sector turnout aimed to oust Itamar Ben-Gvir, but coalition talks are complicated by opposition parties' refusal to sit with Arab parties. US President Donald Trump could intervene to push for a stable unity government, potentially inviting party leaders to the White House to resolve the stalemate.
