  "account": "In Israel, hundreds of thousands of Arab citizens participated in the parliamentary election, with two Arab-led parties, Raam and the United List, winning 19 Knesset seats, their highest ever. This makes them a significant political force that could potentially cost Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu power. The parties' success was driven by a desire to counter Netanyahu's right-wing government and rising anti-Arab violence, with many voters seeing their participation as a necessary measure to protect themselves and their communities. The outcome could lead to a challenging government formation process, with Netanyahu and his allies rejecting a coalition with the Arab parties.",
  "summary": "In the parliamentary elections, a record number of Palestinian citizens of Israel voted. This strengthens the Arab parties - but their participation in government is by no means certain.",
