(AP Photo/Mahmoud Illean, File)JERUSALEM – After a hard-fought election, an Arab Islamist could choose Israel's next prime minister. That means the United Arab List, known by the Hebrew name Ra'am, could decide whether Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, remains in office. If so, he succeeded, convincing Mansour Abbas, the leader of the United Arab List, to run a separate list. Arab parties have never asked to serve in an Israeli government or been invited to do so. Israel's Arab citizens have close family ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza and largely identify with the Palestinian cause.

Exit polls by Israel's three main television channels projected the Religious Zionist Party will win six to seven seats, the best-ever showing by an extreme right-wing party. He is allied with Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the far-right Jewish Power party. Ben Gvir later became a lawyer who represented Jewish extremists suspected of attacking Palestinians. Ben Gvir has said he favors the expulsion of Arabs who are hostile to the state. In the lead-up to the election Ben Gvir sought to distance himself from Kahane's most extreme views.

JERUSALEM – Israel's Beitar Jerusalem soccer club, which has gained notoriety for its racist fans and refusal to have an Arab player on its roster, announced on Monday that an Emirati sheikh has purchased a 50% stake in the team.

Israel's Arab minority makes up roughly 20% of the population, and Arab players star on rival teams and the country's national squad. The statement did not say whether the team finally plans on adding Arab players to its roster, though Hogeg has signaled that is his plan. It also says it has Arab players on its youth and women's teams.

Israel on Tuesday signed historic diplomatic pacts with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in a U.S.-brokered deal. Morocco was reported to be among other Arab countries considering a similar move, though the prime minister rejected the idea last month. Last month, Moroccan Prime Minister Saad Eddine El Othmani said the kingdom rejects any form of normalization with Israel.

JERUSALEM Israel and Sudan on Tuesday said they are close to reaching a peace agreement setting the stage for a possible second dramatic diplomatic breakthrough for Israel with its Arab neighbors in a matter of days. Sudan hosted the landmark Arab conference after the 1967 Mideast war where eight Arab countries approved the three no's": no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel and no negotiations. In a statement Tuesday, Netanyahu said Israel, Sudan and the entire region will benefit from a deal. After last week's announcement with the UAE, Netanyahu predicted that other Arab countries would soon follow suit. After Netanyahu visited Chad for a renewal of ties in 2019, it was reported that Israel was working to formalize ties with Sudan.
