Summary

Benjamin Netanyahu emerged from this week’s Israeli elections with a slender lead over his closest rival, Gadi Eisenkot, but his far-right coalition fell short of an overall majority. The prime minister’s performance was better than pre-election polls had predicted, and sets up weeks (or even months) of political gridlock in the country. Host Gideon Rachman speaks to Dahlia Scheindlin, a political analyst and columnist for Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz, about the role Arab parties could play in forming a government, what happens next, and Israel’s drift rightward.
