As potassium leaves the neuron, the inside of the cell will become progressively more negative, which will attract the positive potassium ions, preventing further exodus. If this electrical force is great enough, it will actually draw potassium ions from the outside of the cell back inside.

What happens at a synapses?
The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells. The synapse, or synaptic cleft is the gap between to neuron cells. Nerotransmitters are chemicals that are released from one neuron (known as the pre-synaptic) and bond to receptors on the receiving neuron (known as the post-synaptic). The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells.
Why increasing extracellular potassium ion reduces the net diffusion of potassium ion out of neuron through the potassium leak channel?
By increasing the extracellular K+ there is efflux and also influx into the cell which increases the tendency of the cell to depolarize.
