Israel's first election since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack ended without a clear winner. With ~99% of votes counted, Netanyahu's right-wing/religious bloc was projected at about 53 seats, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot around 48, and Arab parties a record combined 19 — leaving both mainstream blocs short of the 61 needed to govern. Netanyahu remains caretaker PM; President Isaac Herzog will consult party leaders once official results land (expected Nov. 4). A third scenario is deadlock and yet another election.
The vote was widely framed as a referendum on Netanyahu's premiership and his handling of the Gaza war. Netanyahu outperformed exit polls, which he and Trump attributed partly to Trump's public endorsement, but he still fell short of a conventional majority. Arab parties' strong showing, plus Eisenkot's refusal to join a Netanyahu-led coalition, blocks a straightforward path to 61 for either side.
