Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leads the election results but lacks a parliamentary majority, requiring coalition-building with rivals. His bloc is projected to secure 53 seats, while the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot has 48. Both groups fall short of the 61 seats needed for a majority. Despite security criticisms, Netanyahu has gained unexpected support from Israeli Jews. The Arab parties, with a record voter turnout, may play a crucial role in future coalitions. Analysts suggest two main paths: a broader unity government led by Netanyahu or new elections, which could further strengthen his position.
