Israel's opposition seeks Arab-party support to unseat Netanyahu
Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot gained backing from Arab-led parties, which hold 19 seats, in the effort to form a government. A coalition needs 61 of 120 seats. President Herzog faces a key choice. Failure to form a government could leave Netanyahu in power.
Why it matters
The outcome decides who leads Israel during the regional war.
Background
Israel voted Oct. 27 with no clear winner. Arab-led parties rarely join coalitions.
