An anti-climactic outcome in the Knesset elections
The inconclusive result of the Israeli Knesset election is indicative of the political polarisation in Israel, diminishing the influence of Netanyahu and increasing Arab political representation. The hung parliament poses a threat to political stability, accountability, and the possibility of a two-state solution. It also has implications for West Asian security, relations between Iran and Israel and international energy supplies. India needs to engage diplomatically.
