Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc won 53 seats in Tuesday's Israeli election and lost its parliamentary majority, leaving Arab-led parties as potential kingmakers. The main opposition bloc won 48 seats, and final results were released early Friday. Weeks of difficult negotiations lie ahead among very different parties, from ultra-Orthodox to secular to Arab-led. France 24 reported that Likud alleged on Thursday, without providing evidence, that Arab parties' record gains were driven in part by voter fraud, an escalation of anti-Arab rhetoric by Netanyahu and his far-right partners.
