    Protesters Call on Yashar's Eisenkot to Form Government Backed by Arab Parties
    United Arab List leader Mansour Abbas and Democrats chief Yair Golan discussed 'ways to build a partnership' on Thursday, while Joint List leader Youssef Jabareen said he was ready to 'pave the way' to replace Netanyahu

    Eisenkot: Door Open to Any Lawmaker Willing to Accept Principles
    Joining Gadi Eisenkot's gov't will require partners to recognize Israel as a Jewish, democratic, liberal and equal state; uphold the Declaration of Independence; agree to mandatory IDF or civilian service; and recognize Hamas as a terrorist group
    (by Michael Hauser Tov, Haaretz, 31 October 2026)

    Palestinian citizens are the big winners of Israel's election. It doesn't matter
    The historic result for Arab parties is rendered meaningless by an Israeli opposition that appears unwilling to partner with them to depose Netanyahu.

    I'm an Israeli Opposition Leader. It's Time to Form a Government With Arabs

    ---
    Analysis Israel's Opposition Won the Numbers to Defeat Netanyahu. It May Defeat Itself Instead
    Netanyahu's dominance opened the door to historic Arab-Jewish cooperation. But by capitulating to his anti-Arab rhetoric, Israel's opposition may squander it. Now it must choose which campaign promise to break: exclude Arab parties or oust Netanyahu
    (by Joshua Leifer, Haaretz, 29 October, 2026)
