Election results in Israel saw a significant shift overnight, with the right-wing bloc, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, emerging in the lead after initial projections favored a "change bloc." The first exit polls had indicated an advantage for the "change bloc," but as vote counting progressed through the night, the picture reversed.

With approximately 40% of the votes counted, the bloc associated with Netanyahu secured 57 seats in the Knesset, while the opposing "change bloc" garnered 47 seats. Shas, a religious party, received seven seats, and United Torah Judaism obtained eight seats in these partial results.

This development marks a dramatic reversal from earlier predictions and sets a new trajectory for the political landscape as the final vote count continues.
