Quick Summary

Thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv to urge opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to make a deal with Arab parties to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. The rally participants believe this could be their last chance for change, as Netanyahu remains Israel’s longest-serving prime minister. With Netanyahu's bloc winning 53 seats and Eisenkot's gaining 48 in Tuesday’s elections, neither can form a government alone; however, the three Arab-led parties won 19 seats, increasing their total to nearly 840,000 votes, marking a significant rise from previous elections. This electoral success means that forming a coalition with these parties would give Eisenkot a majority of 67 seats in Israel’s 120-seat parliament.

Story summary

Thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday to urge the Israeli opposition to form a coalition with Arab parties and remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. Protesters view this as their "last chance for real change" and describe Netanyahu, who has been Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, as a “great manipulator.” The rally comes after Tuesday's elections where Netanyahu's bloc secured 53 seats compared to opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's 48, making it impossible for either side to form a government without support from the Arab parties that won 19 seats. Despite this potential solution, counter-protesters opposing any coalition with Arab parties were also present at the rally.
