Israel post-poll: Arabs may help elect the king but may not be allowed into the palace

Israel post-poll: Arabs may help elect the king but may not be allowed into the palace

What's behind this

The Knesset remains deadlocked, with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s right‑wing and ultra‑Orthodox bloc holding 53 of the 120 seats while the opposition together controls 67 seats, including 19 from Arab‑majority parties whose support is considered highly controversial in Israeli politics.
