        "content": "<p>TEL AVIV \u2014 The Arab party bloc is likely to determine who leads\nIsrael next.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Elections Committee (CEC) said on Wednesday afternoon\nthat, with 89.8 per cent of votes counted, Prime Minister Benjamin\nNetanyahu\u2019s bloc was projected to win just 53 seats in the 120-member\nKnesset.<\/p>\n<p>The bloc led by Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot was forecast to\nsecure 48 seats. Both blocs therefore remained well short of the 61\nseats required for a majority.<\/p>\n<p>The two parties whose members are predominantly Arab were projected\nto win 19 seats. This historic achievement puts them in a potential\nkingmaker position.<\/p>\n<p>The result followed record turnout among Arab voters in Tuesday\u2019s\nelection. Participation was boosted by hopes of removing Netanyahu and\nhis right-wing allies from power.<\/p>",
