Israeli exit polls indicate that Arab parties are projected to win 18 seats in parliament, a historic high. Concurrently, voter turnout among Israeli Palestinian citizens reached approximately 80%, also breaking the 1999 record.
Exit polls also suggest that the opposition bloc led by former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and the Likud bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu each secured 51 seats, with neither side reaching the majority needed to form a government. Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List (Ra'am), expressed hope that the final results would allow the anti-Netanyahu bloc, including his party, to win the 61 seats required to form a coalition.
Overall voter turnout also hit a new high since 1999, reaching 77.7%.
