The counting of votes in Israel has been completed, Netanyahu's bloc did not gain a majority.
The vote counting in Israel has concluded, revealing that Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc holds 53 seats in the Knesset, while opposition parties have 67. Netanyahu's coalition lacks the majority needed for governance, prompting the opposition to negotiate for a government structure to replace him. The Likud party, led by Netanyahu, is the most popular with 26 seats, followed by Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar with 21 and Naftali Bennett's Together with 12. The Haaretz newspaper urges a coalition between Eisenkot's bloc and the Arab parties, which could potentially form a government with 67 seats. Following the strong performance of Arab parties, calls for investigations have emerged from government officials, including the national security minister advocating for the arrest of Arab party leaders.
