Latest data from Israel's Central Elections Committee shows a voter turnout of 77.7% in the country's parliamentary elections, the highest since 1999. Exit polls indicate that the bloc led by Netanyahu secured 50 seats, while the main opposition bloc obtained 52 seats, with neither side achieving the absolute majority required to form a government. Currently, both blocs are engaged in behind-the-scenes negotiations to form the next coalition government. Netanyahu has expressed willingness to form a national unity government, but far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has rejected any unity arrangement with the Eisenkot bloc.
