Israel polls: Neither Netanyahu nor oppn wins majority; what happens next?
Israel faces a political deadlock after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc fell short of the 61 seats needed for a majority. With Arab-led parties holding 19 seats, opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot could seek their support to form a government. However, ideological differences complicate the numbers. A unity government, opposition defections or another election are among four possible scenarios, according to CNN.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition obtained 53 seats, lacking a clear path to govern. Lapid emphasized the importance of patience during the ongoing discussions amidst uncertainty. He assured the public that negotiations are active, though results may not be immediately visible.
