The current count for the Israeli legislative election indicates that no political alliance has yet secured the 61 seats necessary to form a majority government in the Knesset. With 92.8% of the vote reported, the bloc aligned with Benjamin Netanyahu has taken 53 seats, and the opposition Eisenkot bloc has captured 48.
The Arab parties hold 19 seats, positioning them as the potential kingmakers in determining which coalition will lead the government. In a direct head-to-head tally, Netanyahu led Eisenkot 26 to 21. Other results include 12 seats for the alliance of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, and 7 seats divided among five smaller parties.
