Israel's Arab parties set for kingmaker status, may hold key to Netanyahu's political future

Israel's Palestinian citizens are expected to secure a record number of seats in parliament after high voter turnout. Their participation was driven by concerns over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and its policies. The Arab parties may block an outright victory for Netanyahu's coalition, which is short of a majority. Gadi Eisenkot's bloc also seems likely to require Arab support to form a stable government.
