Commentator Yaakov Bardugo stated that the Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, maintained its position as Israel's largest party following the 26th Knesset election exit polls. Bardugo argued that opposition party leaders cannot form a government without the support of Arab parties. He asserted that the public has shown confidence in Netanyahu's leadership and his security policies concerning Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, which he believes address recent criticisms. Bardugo expressed trust in the exit poll data from Shlomo Filber on Channel 14, estimating that the final results, expected within 48 hours, will align more closely with those figures. He further contended that any government formed by the opposition would depend on 17 Arab party Knesset members, a basis he deems unstable, especially after the October 7th attacks. Bardugo criticized Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan, saying they have no reason to celebrate the results given Netanyahu's high public trust on security matters. He concluded that President Isaac Herzog has no choice but to task Netanyahu with forming the government.
