Yair Golan, leader of the Democratic Party, responded to exit poll results indicating that Benjamin Netanyahu will not be the next prime minister, but also that the "change bloc" is far from forming a government. Golan stated that the public has "fired the Netanyahu government" and presented a "historic opportunity to establish a true change government in Israel." He emphasized his party's commitment to this goal, citing the four years of public struggle, party enlistment, and field efforts. "We are going to do everything to ensure such a government is established," Golan declared, adding that his party is ready to work with all partners, bridge gaps, and take responsibility. The exit polls, conducted by Dudi Hassid for Kan News, projected the following seat distribution: Likud 25, Yesh Atid 21, National Unity 14, Joint List 10, Democrats 10, Yisrael Beiteinu 8, Shas 6, United Torah Judaism 6, Religious Zionism 6, and Ra'am 7. The far-right Otzma Yehudit party was projected to receive 7 seats. Parties failing to pass the electoral threshold included HaMiluimnikim (2.7%) and Am Israel (2.2%). The bloc supporting Netanyahu was projected to win 50 seats, while the "left bloc" was projected to win 53 seats, with Arab parties securing 17 seats.
