With the legislative elections of "Israel" scheduled for October 27, political scientist Ze'ev Hanin outlined three possible scenarios, and warned that the Netanyahu bloc is most likely to obtain the 61 seats needed for a majority in the Knesset. An opposition victory may depend largely on voter turnout, while a third possibility is a protracted political stalemate that could pave the way for another election. In any case, Arab parties can play a decisive role if none of the blocs can form a government independently.
