'Oust Manipulator Netanyahu': Israelis Take to Streets, Demand Bibi's Exit | Firstpost Live Nov 03, 2026

Description

Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets, demanding that opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot join hands with Arab parties to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from power. But can this unlikely alliance bring an end to Netanyahu's political dominance? Israel's recent parliamentary elections have ended in a deadlock, with Netanyahu's bloc securing 53 seats and Eisenkot's opposition bloc winning 48 in the 120-member Knesset. Neither side has secured the 61 seats required to form a government independently. The Arab parties, which hold 19 seats, could potentially give Eisenkot's bloc a combined 67 seats. However, their support comes with significant demands, including a pathway towards Palestinian statehood, a crackdown on crime in Arab communities and an end to home demolitions. But there is a major obstacle. Eisenkot has previously ruled out forming a coalition with Arab parties, while several of his potential allies remain opposed to the arrangement. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's supporters are warning against any such alliance. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the story on Firstpost Live.
