Israel's Election Deadlock: Netanyahu Rules Out Arab Party Support Amid Tight Contest
Israel's recent election resulted in a deadlock, with exit polls showing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot nearly tied, neither securing the 61 seats needed for a majority. Netanyahu claimed his bloc holds a decisive majority among Jewish and Zionist voters and ruled out forming a government supported by Arab parties, which made significant gains and could become kingmakers. He emphasized unity among right-wing parties and highlighted cooperation with the US to address the Iranian threat. Final results are pending.
