With 85% of votes counted, neither Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor challenger Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc appeared likely to win a majority, leaving Israel facing difficult coalition talks. Possible paths include a unity government, an opposition coalition backed by Arab parties, or Netanyahu attracting right-wing lawmakers from the opposition; the article says new elections may be the most likely outcome if parties will not compromise.
Key Facts
The article reports that early projections showed neither leading bloc with enough seats to form a majority.
Netanyahu could seek a unity government with Eisenkot’s Yashar Party, but Eisenkot campaigned on removing Netanyahu from power.
Netanyahu praised his existing coalition partners and called for a strong right-wing government, suggesting he may prefer to keep his current alliance.
The Arab parties were projected to win about 19 seats, with turnout among Arab citizens of Israel higher than expected.
The United Arab list was projected to win about seven seats and said it would join an opposition government; the Joint List was projected to win 12 and said it would support one from outside.
Most Jewish parties in Eisenkot’s bloc had ruled out joining a government with Arab parties, while Yair Golan was the only Jewish leader described as advocating that option.
The article says an opposition government backed by Arab parties would be fragile, particularly over Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The article begins describing a possible Netanyahu-led majority that draws right-wing lawmakers from Eisenkot’s bloc, but the provided text ends before completing that scenario.

Exit-poll projections suggest Israel’s Arab-led parties could win a record 17 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, while partial results show no bloc with a majority. Their support could give opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot enough seats to form a majority, but both he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have rejected partnering with the Arab-led lists, limiting their influence.
Key Facts
The Joint List and Ra’am are projected to win a combined 17 seats, a record for Arab-led parties.
Partial results put Netanyahu’s bloc at 54 seats and the opposition alliance led by Gadi Eisenkot at 49.
A majority in the Knesset requires 61 seats.
One reported estimate says an alliance between Eisenkot’s bloc and the Arab-led parties could hold 66 seats.
Netanyahu and Eisenkot have both rejected the idea of partnering with Arab-led parties, citing a lack of shared values.
Analyst Ahmed Najar said Eisenkot’s refusal to rely on Arab parties was ideological.
Ra’am leader Mansour Abbas has indicated he may join an Eisenkot-led government if internal security matters are handled by his party.
Joint List leaders Yousef Jabareen and Ahmad Tibi said their bloc was prepared to help remove Netanyahu’s government.
