Israel Election: Netanyahu's Bloc Leads But Lacks Majority After 90% Vote Count
With nearly 90% of ballots counted in Israel's election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc is projected to win 53 seats, while the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot is expected to secure 48 seats. Both fall short of the 61 seats needed to form a government in the 120-member Knesset, indicating no clear winner has emerged. Arab parties could collectively hold a record 19 seats. Final results are expected as early as Thursday evening, and President Isaac Herzog will begin consultations on government formation next week. Netanyahu's Likud party has accused Arab parties of election theft, while the Joint List alliance attributes high Arab voter turnout to blocking Netanyahu's majority.
