Initial results from the counting of 50.12% of votes in Israel indicate a lead for Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc, which has secured 56 seats. The bloc led by Izencoat trails with 49 seats, while Arab parties collectively hold 15 seats. The Likud party has garnered 27 seats, followed by the "Yesh" party with 21 seats. Both the "Yahad" party and the Joint List received 11 seats each. Other parties, including "Democratim" and "United Torah Judaism," obtained 9 seats, "Yisrael Beiteinu" secured 8 seats, and "Shas" and "Otzma Yehudit" each won 7 seats. The "Religious Zionism" party received 6 seats, and the United Arab List obtained 4 seats. Exit polls had initially suggested an advantage for the "change bloc," but updated results throughout the night showed this advantage diminishing as vote counting progressed and seat distribution shifted between blocs. These results are preliminary and subject to change upon the completion of the vote count and the announcement of final results.
