Commentator and journalist Avishai Ben-Chaim reacted to the exit poll results on Tuesday evening, calling them a "wonderful achievement" and advocating for a "government of unity and reconciliation." He specifically mentioned the need to "remove the Iranian threat from the Jewish people." While Channel 14's polls indicated a bloc of 60 mandates for the Netanyahu camp, other channels projected 52 mandates for the right-wing bloc. Sources close to Prime Minister Netanyahu echoed Ben-Chaim's call for a unity government. However, leaders of the "change parties" have repeatedly pledged not to sit with Netanyahu. Current projections suggest the formation of either a unity government, a government relying on Arab support, or a new round of elections. The final results are expected to be revealed throughout the night and into the next day as absentee ballots are counted.
