Explainer-How could Israel break the election deadlock?
By Maayan Lubell JERUSALEM, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Israel's election this week was indecisive and there is no clear winner poised to form a government. Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office as caretaker prime minister, but faces a parliament stacked with an opposition majority vying to oust him. Here are some scenarios that could follow: ANOTHER ELECTION
In Israel, left-wing activists have taken to the streets to demand an Arab-Jewish unity government following the inconclusive election results. Demonstrators blocked roads and confronted police, chanting slogans and displaying placards that called for unity between Jews and Arabs. The protest reflects the desire for Jewish and Arab political cooperation to break the electoral deadlock and form a governing coalition.
Protesters argue that a government involving parties representing Israel's Arab population could provide a path to political change, while others have criticized the country's political system as being akin to an apartheid state. As of now, no governing coalition has emerged from the election.
