Golan urges opposition to unite with Arab parties to gain 65-seat majority
Democrat Party chairman Yair Golan urged opposition parties to unite with Arab parties in order to secure a 65-seat majority in the upcoming Knesset elections. The prime minister, Netanyahu, lost the 2026 election, and Golan emphasized that 65 seats is more than the 55-seat majority required for a government. Golan called for the inclusion of Arab parties in the government in the upcoming Knesset elections, emphasizing that this would be a government of change serving all Israeli citizens.
The Central Elections Committee data shows that the opposition bloc, comprising Yashar, B Yachad, Yisrael Beytenu, and the Democrats, is projected to enter the Knesset with 47 seats, while Ra am and the Joint List are expected to win six and 12 seats, respectively.
