Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

With 90% of votes counted, Netanyahu's bloc holds 53 seats but lacks a majority, as the opposition and Arab parties vie for coalition power.

Netanyahu's Likud-led bloc is set to win 53 seats, while the anti-Netanyahu alliance, led by Gadi Eisenkot, secures 48, with Arab parties adding 19 seats. Neither bloc is expected to form a secure majority, prompting intense coalition negotiations.

The Central Election Committee reports that absentee ballots, making up 10% of the vote, are being counted, though they are unlikely to alter the final seat distribution. The official results will be announced on November 4, pending final tally completion.

The Israeli president has urged political parties to avoid a return to the polls, emphasizing the need for a government coalition despite the current deadlock.
