La oposición a Netanyahu comienza a dialogar para formar un Gobierno en Israel

Following legislative elections in Israel, members of the opposition have begun negotiations to form a government and reach a 61-seat majority to avoid new elections within six months. El Pais reports that Yair Golan, leader of Los Demócratas, plans to meet with leaders of the three other opposition parties to discuss the mission of providing hope to the Israeli people.

Haaretz notes that Arab voters have provided a historic opportunity for the opposition to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting a Jewish-Arab government could help heal the country.

While Benjamin Netanyahu's party was the most voted, France 24 reports that the election featured the highest turnout in decades and included historic inroads by Arab parties, while marking Netanyahu's worst result since 1999. Despite these results, Netanyahu still has a path to remaining in power. Al-Monitor reports that President Donald Trump has taken the unusual step of endorsing the sitting prime minister, which could lead to his involvement in the government formation process.
