Quick Summary

Prem discusses Israeli election results where Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc lost about 14 seats, falling short of a majority as voter turnout reached 77.7%, the highest since 1999. Arab-led parties' seat count nearly doubled to 19, which Prem notes was met with alarmist responses from Netanyahu and pro-Israeli observers in the U.S., despite the overall outcome being a significant rebuke for Netanyahu's leadership.
