WorldIsrael’s election leaves opposition with a dilemma: can it govern with Palestinian parties?

Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition lost its mandate, while the opposition can command a majority only if it reaches a governing pact with Palestinian Israeli parties, which won a record 19 seats. Netanyahu’s bloc took 53 seats and the grouping led by Gadi Eisenkot won 48. Coalition talks are beginning, with weeks of uncertainty possible.
