Millions of Israelis voted on Tuesday in the 26th Knesset elections, with turnout breaking decades-long records. Preliminary exit polls from various channels indicate a significant increase in voting within the Arab community. Several smaller parties are struggling to cross the electoral threshold, while a near tie is projected between the two major blocs.
According to the projections, ultra-Orthodox parties have seen a significant decline, with the Likud party leading. However, the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot appears to be ahead in the polls. The Joint List also saw increased participation. The results suggest that forming a stable government could be challenging, potentially making each mandate crucial in the struggle for power.
The final results and the distribution of mandates will determine which party leader will be tasked with attempting to form the next government.
