Exit poll Israel: Netanyahu's party largest, blocs are neck and neck

According to exit polls, opposition parties led by Eisenkot are projected to secure 51 seats, matching the ruling coalition's total. Likud remains the largest party with 27 seats, while Eisenkot's Yashar party has 21. Neither bloc achieves a majority in the Knesset, necessitating support from other parties, including Palestinian and Arab parties, which could complicate coalition negotiations. Eisenkot suggests that voters have lost trust in Netanyahu's government, a sentiment echoed by other opposition leaders. The final election results will be confirmed by Friday, with a potential new government formation by the end of the year. If no coalition is formed within the stipulated time, new elections may be called.
