To bring down Netanyahu, Arab-Israeli parties ready for opposition alliance
They will not govern Israel, but Arab-majority lists could be the kingmakers in Israel's close-fought elections next week, guided by a voter base fed up with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Arab Israelis, also known as Palestinian citizens of Israel, account for about 21 percent of the country's population.
