Israel election results leave Netanyahu in limbo, with Arab parties holding the deciding votes

Israels election has left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without a clear path to a governing majority, with his bloc winning 53 seats against 48 for Gadi Eisenkots opposition and Arab-led parties holding the remaining 19. The result makes Arab parties potentially decisive in coalition talks, even as Likud alleges without evidence that the vote was stolen and authorities investigate separate claims of possible foreign interference.
