Israeli President Isaac Herzog urged political parties to avoid new elections after partial results showed no majority for either main bloc. He emphasized the need for open attitudes in upcoming consultations to form a government. Herzog praised high voter turnout as a sign of strong democratic desire among Israelis. Current counts indicate Netanyahu's bloc with 53 seats and Eisenkot's with 48, while Arab parties achieved a historic 19 seats. A majority of 61 seats is required in the Knesset, which has 120 total seats.
