LIVE, legislative elections in Israel: after counting 70% of the ballots, Benjamin Netanyahu's camp leads; Arab parties credited with 19 seats, an unprecedented level

After counting 70% of the votes in Israel's elections, Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc leads with 54 seats, while the opposition coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot has 47 seats. The Arab parties, including the United List and RAAM, are projected to secure a historic 19 seats. Youssef Jabareen, leader of the United List, expressed readiness to collaborate with the opposition to oust Netanyahu, emphasizing the need for a partnership between Jews and Arabs. However, the possibility of an alliance between the opposition and Arab parties remains uncertain, as some coalition members view such support as a red line. The election results indicate a fragmented Knesset, complicating the formation of a stable government.
