Jerusalem, Nov. 6 -- Israel's largest Arab list on Thursday said it would back Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government, bolstering his chances of being picked over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who lost the support of an allied religious party. Arab-majority lists won 19 seats in the election, making them potential kingmakers if Eisenkot's opposition chooses to work with them -- something which remains unclear. The move gives Eisenkot 67 endorsements- surpassing the 61-seat majority. P17
