A razor-thin, inconclusive election has left Israel's center-right opposition needing Arab-led parties to form a government and potentially oust Netanyahu.

Israel's latest national election has ended without a clear winner, according to NPR, leaving the center-right opposition with a possible path to power but only if it can secure support from Arab-led political parties.
The inconclusive result places those parties, which represent Israel's Arab citizens, in an unusually influential position as coalition talks begin. Their cooperation could prove decisive in determining whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office or is replaced.
NPR reports that the outcome has turned attention to how willing opposition leaders are to work with Arab-led factions, and how that dynamic could reshape the balance of power in Israeli politics in the days ahead.
