Summary

Israelis turned out in record numbers in the election. The left-wing Joint List was projected to win 12 seats, and the socially conservative United Arab List, or Ra'am, could win seven, which would put the two Arab-led parties in a kingmaker's position in forming the next government. Final vote results, as reported by The Straits Times, set up weeks of uncertainty about who will govern, and the Arab parties' strong showing could make them major players in the negotiations for the next government.
