> Yousef Jabareen, leader of Israel’s Joint List, says it is ready to work with the opposition Change bloc to oust Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition. Arab Israeli turnout surged, giving Arab parties a record 19 Knesset seats and potential kingmaker status. The Joint List says it could support a new government from outside, but will not join it while the occupation of the West Bank continues.
