Israel’s parliamentary vote count has ended with no major bloc reaching the 61 seats required to form a government in the 120 seat Knesset. Reporting based on Central Elections Committee figures, including coverage from CBS News and Anadolu, puts the Netanyahu aligned bloc at 53 seats, the Eisenkot led opposition bloc at 48, and Arab led parties at 19.
The result leaves Israel without a clear governing majority and shifts attention to coalition negotiations and the formal certification process. The seat totals establish the political balance after the vote, but they do not decide who will become prime minister or whether a government can be assembled. The Associated Press has reported that final official results were still expected, while the next step will be consultations over who is best positioned to try to form a coalition.
