'Frustrated' Bibi Leads But Loses Majority, Cries Theft By Arab Parties In Israel|Firstpost Live| 4K

Benjamin Netanyahu is leading Israel's election count, but his right-wing bloc has fallen short of a parliamentary majority. With 53 seats projected in the 120-member Knesset, Netanyahu's alliance is eight seats short of the 61 needed to govern. Meanwhile, Arab parties are projected to win a combined 19 seats, potentially giving them a decisive role in coalition negotiations. Netanyahu's Likud party has accused Arab parties of election fraud, alleging bribery, threats, forgery and double voting. The allegations have not been established. As Netanyahu calls for a strong right-wing government, his opponents face their own challenge in building a viable coalition. Is Israel heading towards a political deadlock?
