Israel’s Election: Who Will Govern?

Israel's election has produced no clear winner, with Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc falling short of a parliamentary majority and Arab parties emerging as potential kingmakers. As coalition negotiations intensify, the possibility of a government led by Gadi Eisenkot raises questions about Israel's political direction and its relationship with the Palestinians. Dr James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, examines Netanyahu's chances of remaining in power, the role Arab parties could play in forming a government, and whether a change in leadership would alter Israel's security policies, relations with Washington and efforts to rebuild an economy battered by years of war.
