With 88.6% of votes counted in the Knesset elections, the bloc supporting Benjamin Netanyahu is projected to secure 53 seats, while the opposing bloc, including Arab parties, is set to win 67 seats. The Likud party remains the largest single party with 26 mandates, followed by Yesh Atid with 21. The Joint List and Ra'am together hold 19 seats, contributing to the opposition's potential majority. The updated seat distribution shows the Likud bloc at 53 mandates and the left-wing bloc at 48. The Joint List is projected to win 12 seats, and Ra'am 7. Other parties include Democrats with 8 seats, Yisrael Beiteinu with 7, and United Torah Judaism, Shas, Otzma Yehudit, Religious Zionism, and Zehut each with 7 or 6 seats. Two parties, the Reservists Party and the Economic Party, and Am Israel Party, are currently below the electoral threshold. While the numbers indicate the opposition could form a majority with Arab parties, this is a numerical calculation and does not guarantee a coalition. Final results are still pending the completion of vote counting, including double envelopes, which may lead to further changes.
