Following a fragmented election result, demonstrators in Tel Aviv urged the formation of a government that includes Arab parties.
The recent Israeli parliamentary election ended without any party securing a clear majority, leaving the country in a coalition deadlock.
In Tel Aviv, dozens of activists gathered on the streets, holding placards and chanting slogans that called for a joint Jewish‑Arab government. The demonstrators argued that a broad-based coalition is essential for political stability and social cohesion.
Among the demands was a specific appeal to senior security figure Gadi Eisenkot, urging him to cooperate with Arab parties in the formation of the next cabinet. Organisers said the inclusion of Arab representatives would reflect the country’s diverse electorate and help address pressing domestic challenges.
The protest remained peaceful, with police monitoring the crowd but reporting no incidents. Officials have not yet responded publicly to the coalition proposal.
