Deadlock in Israel: according to exit polls, there is no clear winner in the election

The Israeli elections show no clear winner according to exit polls, with neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gadi Eisenkot securing a majority. Netanyahu's supporting parties are projected to gain 50 seats, while opposition parties led by Eisenkot could achieve 52-53 seats. Arab parties may send 17-18 representatives to parliament. The final results are pending, with around 600,000 votes yet to be counted. Eisenkot expressed a commitment to forming a government that reflects the people's decision, while former Prime Minister Yair Lapid noted a significant defeat for Netanyahu's bloc. The coalition-building process may take weeks, and failure could lead to new elections.
