According to the partial results, Netanyahu is leading, but the Israeli election could be very close.
The Israeli elections have not yet declared a clear winner, with Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc currently leading based on 41.9% of votes processed. Preliminary results indicate Netanyahu's bloc could secure 57 seats, while the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot may gain 47 seats, and two Arab parties could obtain 16 seats. Exit polls show a tight race, with both Netanyahu's Likud party and the opposition potentially winning 51 seats each. Official results are expected Thursday, as military votes are still being counted. Eisenkot claimed a historic moment for the opposition, while Netanyahu emphasized the strength of his right-wing coalition. Donald Trump commented on Netanyahu's performance, suggesting his support was beneficial.
