Netanyahu calls for broader government and rules out coalition with Arab parties

Israel ·

According to a report by columnist Ben Ashkenazi in Israel Hayom, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally called for a broader governing coalition. The report says this rules out any cooperation with the Joint List, the main alliance of Arab parties.

Israel's 120-seat Knesset is elected by proportional representation, so governments need at least 61 seats and are usually formed through coalitions. The Joint List is an alliance of mostly Arab parties, and Arab parties have rarely joined Israeli governing coalitions.
