Israel Election 2026: Arab Parties Could Be 'Kingmakers' As Netanyahu Faces Deadlock | WATCH
Israel election exit polls project Arab parties Ra’am and the Joint List to win 18 to 19 seats in the 120-member Knesset, potentially making them kingmakers in government formation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot face a parliamentary deadlock, with neither bloc projected to secure the 61 seats needed for a majority. Higher Arab voter turnout could reshape coalition negotiations, while final results will determine Israel’s next political direction.
