An updated exit poll from Israel's 13th Channel television indicates a tie between the political blocs led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, with each bloc projected to receive 51 seats in the Knesset. Neither bloc has secured the 61 seats required to form a government.
The poll shows a shift in support for Netanyahu's "Likud" party, which gained two seats, increasing its projected total from 25 to 27. Conversely, Eisenkot's "Yashar!" party lost one seat, now expected to win 22 seats. The ultra-Orthodox party "Yahadut HaTorah" also saw a decrease, losing one seat to finish with six.
According to the revised forecast, the distribution of seats is as follows: Netanyahu's bloc - 51 seats, Eisenkot's bloc - 51 seats, and Arab parties - 18 seats. This outcome means that neither of the two main blocs will have the necessary parliamentary majority to form a government.
These figures represent a preliminary projection, and the final election results will be determined after all votes are counted.
