The Joint List coalition of Arab-led parties has backed opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot for prime minister following a record 19-seat performance for Arab lists in the recent election.
Israel's largest Arab party grouping said Thursday it would recommend opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government, potentially bolstering his bid after Arab-majority lists won a record 19 seats in last week's election and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lost the support of an allied religious party. Israeli Arab parties are considering backing an opposition coalition to challenge Prime Minister Netanyahu’s leadership. Ahmad Tibi has expressed openness to support without formally joining the new government.
This election has resulted in a fragmented Knesset lacking a decisive majority. Arab-led parties won a record 19 seats in Israel's 120-seat parliament in last week's general election.
