Although neither of the two main contenders for prime minister is likely to include them in a coalition, high Arab voter turnout, according to analysts, denied Benjamin Netanyahu a path to a single-party majority and may push him toward a government of national unity.

Leaders of Israel's Arab Parties Pledge to Unite to Oust Netanyahu in October 27 Election

Leaders of three parties of the Arab 'Joint List' — Yousef Jabareen, Ahmad Tibi and Sami Abu Shehade — said at a press conference in Haifa that high Arab voter turnout in the Knesset elections on October 27, 2026 would prevent the formation of a new government by Benjamin Netanyahu.
