Israeli Arabs, Palestinians view path to coalition through political clout - analysis

Their leverage lies in coalition arithmetic, yet opposition leaders cannot agree on whether to accept that support. The real test is whether increased numbers translate into concrete policy wins for voters' daily lives, or stall on internal divisions.
