Israel's Central Elections Committee certified the country's election results Wednesday over objections from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc, as his opponents prepared to try to form a governing coalition.

Benjamin Netanyahu's political rivals cast the Democrats' capture of the US Congress as proof ‌that he had squandered generations of bipartisan American support for Israel, as they seek a chance to form a government without him.

As Republican losses in the US midterm elections came into focus, President Donald Trump said he would accept the results. The same cannot be said of Benjamin Netanyahu, the man Trump endorsed in Israel.

A veteran Arab lawmaker in Israel says his bloc is willing to break with decades of precedent and join forces with Jewish-led parties in a shared bid to end Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s long rule.

Israelis are waiting for final election results to confirm what is becoming clear: a lack of majority for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or his opponents.

Since losing his majority in the October 27 vote, Netanyahu and his allies have been pressing a serious accusation: the election was “stolen” by Arab parties through bribery, foreign funding and fraud.

The Oct 27 election produced no majority for either Benjamin Netanyahu or Gadi Eisenkot, against a backdrop of political polarisation and war fatigue.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially welcomed US President Donald Trump announcement of the plan to terminate annual military aid to Israel. Previously, Trump explained on Fox News that he reached an agreement with Netanyahu to terminate $3.
