Story summary

Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv on October 29, 2026, demanding a Jewish-Arab unity government after parties representing Israel’s Arab citizens made significant gains in Tuesday's parliamentary election. The two main Arab parties are projected to win around 19 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, potentially influencing who forms the next government. Demonstrators chanted slogans and blocked roads, calling for political cooperation between Jewish and Arab communities to break the electoral deadlock following inconclusive results. Some protesters carried banners accusing Israel of being an apartheid state rather than a democracy. The rally reflected calls for a coalition involving both Jewish and Arab parties, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leaders search for a parliamentary majority.
