Israel's Central Elections Committee published the final results of the October 27 vote on Friday, confirming that neither Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc (53 seats) nor Gadi Eisenkot's opposition bloc (48 seats) secured the 61-seat majority required in the Knesset to form a government. Both leaders have ruled out working with the two main electoral lists representing Palestinian citizens of Israel, which together hold 19 seats. Political consultations are reportedly underway, with analysts suggesting the numbers do not add up for any side and new elections remain a possibility if a coalition cannot be formed.
