# Israel: Arab parties at the heart of the elections The day after the legislative elections on October 27, Israel finds itself facing a delicate political equation. After counting half of the polls, Benjamin Netanyahu's camp has a slight advantage with 56 mandates out of 120, against 49 for the opposition and 15 for the Arab parties. Therefore, none of the blocs has, at this point, the necessary majority to govern. The leader of the left, Yair Golan, is now calling on the opposition to join forces with Arab groups to put an end to Netanyahu's power. A point of view which, however, divides its potential partners. According to French historian Vincent Lemire, this impasse could lead to new elections in the coming weeks or months. Until the final results and coalition negotiations, the outgoing Prime Minister remains in office. RT in French dare to ask.
