New delhi date. Thursday, March 25, 2021

A hardline Arab Islamic party called 'Raam' has emerged as a kingmaker after a thorn in the side in Tuesday's Israeli election. Even with 90 per cent of the vote counted by Thursday morning, the far-right Netanyahu's party Likud and its allies appear to be winning 59 seats.

The Israeli parliament has a total of 120 seats in the Knesset. In that case, Benjamin Netanyahu would have to arrange at least 61 seats for a majority.

Netanyahu's coalition and opposition are just 3 seats apart

There is very little distance between Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition and his opposition coalition. Netanyahu's opposition coalition is projected to win 56 seats. In these circumstances, the Ram Party is playing a big role in forming the government. The Ram Party is projected to get at least 5 seats in this election. If he supports the Likud party coalition, Netanyahu's dream of becoming prime minister again will come true.

Netanyahu's fanatical nationalism can be troublesome

Benjamin Netanyahu is known for his staunch nationalist ideology. They are against giving more concessions to the Palestinians and blocking the area of ​​Israeli colonies in the Gaza Strip. While the ideology of the Ram Party is quite the opposite. In these circumstances, it remains to be seen whether the Ram Party will support the hardline nationalist Likud Party, which is considered its unnatural ally.
