How do elections work in Israel?

Israel's elections are based on a parliamentary system where citizens vote for parties to fill the Knesset. The Likud party, led by Netanyahu, faces a potential decline, while opposition parties struggle to form a government. Voting includes around 7.2 million citizens, with significant participation from both Jewish and Arab populations. The electoral law allows for a single constituency, and parties must surpass a 3.25% threshold to gain seats. The results will be announced shortly after voting, but a clear winner is unlikely, leading to potential political stalemate and further negotiations for coalition formation.
