Israeli opposition has a small yet unique chance to sideline Netanyahu

The Israeli elections show a tight race between Netanyahu's coalition and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot, both projected to secure 51 seats. The Arab parties are gaining significant influence with around 16 seats, potentially acting as 'kingmakers'. Analysts suggest that if the opposition can collaborate with these parties, they might form a government, despite Netanyahu's reluctance to engage with them. The political landscape remains largely unchanged, raising concerns about future elections and the potential for Netanyahu's return. The opposition may find opportunities to reverse controversial reforms if they can overcome their resistance to Palestinian collaboration.
