Israel's election left Netanyahu without a governing majority, and economist Jeffrey Sachs argues this could mark the beginning of the end for his 30-year grip on power — bad news for Netanyahu, potentially good news for ending the Gaza war and America's endless Middle East entanglements.

• Arab-Israeli voter turnout surged, giving Arab parties enough seats to be the deciding bloc, but Netanyahu is now calling the result "stolen" and pushing for a crackdown instead of accepting the vote.
• Opposition parties could oust Netanyahu by governing with Arab party support, but many have pledged never to work with Arab lawmakers, so the outcome is still unclear.
• Sachs argues Netanyahu has repeatedly dragged the US into costly wars (Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Iran) under his influence, costing trillions and destabilizing the region.
• American public opinion has turned sharply against unconditional support for Israel, and Sachs predicts no future presidential candidate from either party will be able to win while standing unconditionally "with Israel."
• Sachs sees two possible long-term paths: a two-state solution the Arab world already offered back in 2002, or a single binational state where Jews and Arabs share power, similar to Belgium's multi-parliament model.

Outlook: Watch whether Israel's opposition parties agree to govern with Arab-party backing — if they do, Netanyahu's three-decade run could end soon; if not, he may cling to power despite losing his majority.
