Benjamin Netanyahu's electoral performance has stripped him of his governing mandate, according to The Guardian, though the prime minister retains control of the government for now. His chief rival should reject Netanyahu's anti-democratic vision and build coalitions with Palestinian Israeli parties, the outlet argues.
The column frames the election outcome as a repudiation of Netanyahu's political approach, suggesting that any successor government must chart a different course and incorporate Arab representation in Israeli politics.
