The outcome of Israel's next government formation rests on the decisions of two neighboring politicians in the Judean Hills.
Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, who lead parties based in the moshav of Ness Harim, collectively hold four Knesset seats that are likely to determine the next prime minister.
The narrow margin reflects a deeply fragmented political landscape.
Recent polling indicates that if Arab parties unite, the current coalition would fall to 50 seats, while the opposition would hold 58.
The alliance of Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am would secure 12 seats in such a scenario, according to network analysis.
This tight balance adds pressure to coalition negotiations.
