Orbán congratulated Netanyahu while it is completely uncertain who can form a government in Israel
After counting nearly 90% of the votes in the Israeli elections, Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party is projected to secure 26 seats in the Knesset. However, due to political fragmentation, forming a government requires a coalition of at least 61 seats. Netanyahu's bloc could send 53 representatives, while the coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot may gather 48 seats, and Arab parties could gain 19. The possibility of forming a viable government remains uncertain, with the risk of new elections in early 2027. Despite this, Viktor Orbán congratulated Netanyahu on his electoral success, expressing anticipation for his continued leadership.
