Joint List the third-largest party

One slate celebrating tonight will be the Joint List.

The alliance of Palestinian parties looks set to emerge as the third-largest party in the Knesset, with 11 to 13 seats.

In the lead-up to the election, Netanyahu and his party employed rhetoric widely denounced as racist.

On Monday, Palestinians in the Galilee told MEE that has only encouraged them to vote, and the size of their bloc looks an important obstacle in Netanyahu's way.
