An updated exit poll from Israel's Channel 13 television shows the political blocs led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot each receiving 51 seats in the Knesset. Neither bloc has the 61 seats required to form a government. The poll indicates a shift in support for Netanyahu's Likud party, which gained two seats to reach 27. In contrast, Eisenkot's Yahad party lost one seat, now projected to win 22 seats. The ultra-Orthodox party Yahadut HaTorah also saw a decrease, losing one seat for a total of six. The updated projections place Netanyahu's bloc at 51 seats and Eisenkot's bloc at 51 seats, with Arab parties expected to secure 18 seats. This outcome means neither major bloc achieves a parliamentary majority. These are preliminary projections, and final results will be determined after all votes are counted.
