- Commentator Amit Bachar stated the Israeli public voted out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Bachar cited high voter turnout and preliminary election results for his declaration.
- Exit polls suggest current coalition parties will not achieve a Knesset majority.
- One poll showed coalition parties receiving only 50 seats.
- Neither major bloc is projected to form a government independently.
Commentator Amit Bachar stated on Tuesday evening that the high voter turnout and preliminary election results indicate a public decision against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continuing his term. Bachar posted on his X account that "in a democratic election with historic participation, the people of Israel fired Netanyahu, the government of destruction, the constitutional coup, and the Kahanist dictatorship," adding, "Democratic Israel fought and won."
Bachar's remarks came after the release of election exit polls, which suggest that the current coalition parties will not secure a majority of 61 Knesset seats. For instance, one poll showed the current coalition parties receiving only 50 seats, compared to 53 for opposition parties and 17 for Arab parties.
Despite Bachar's strong declaration, the exit polls do not definitively determine who will form the next government. The poll results also indicate that neither of the two main blocs is projected to reach the necessary majority to form a government independently.
