Following the Knesset elections, commentator Yakov Bardugo stated that the Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, has once again proven itself to be the largest party in Israel. Bardugo asserted that Israelis desire Netanyahu to continue leading the country, citing his security policies and Israel's achievements against Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah as evidence of his effectiveness. He expressed confidence in the exit poll data provided by Shlomo Filber, anticipating that final results, expected within 48 hours, would align more closely with the "Channel 14 News" poll.

Bardugo concluded by emphasizing that President Isaac Herzog has no alternative but to task Netanyahu with forming the next government, citing Netanyahu's high public trust, particularly on security matters.
