How Arab parties could decide Israel's election and Netanyahu's fate | Global News Podcast

Arab-led parties could be the deciding factor in Israel's election. Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, have enough support to form a government. And while Mr Netanyahu's bloc has the lead, Mr Eisenkot could partner with the Arab parties to reach a parliamentary majority, after a record-high turnout amongst Arab Israeli voters. We'll ask what it would take to see a joint-Arab and Jewish coalition take power, who the Arab parties are, and how Arab Israelis became such a powerful voting force. 00:00 Introduction 01:16 Demonstrators call for joint-Jewish and Arab government 03:09 Could Arab parties help Eisenkot oust Netanyahu? 05:21 Who are the Arab-Israelis? 06:14 Why was Arab turnout so high in the Israeli election?
