With 93.8% of votes tallied in the Israeli Knesset elections, preliminary results show the bloc supporting Benjamin Netanyahu leading with 53 mandates. The opposing left-wing bloc has secured 48 mandates, while Arab parties collectively hold 19 mandates. The Likud party remains the largest single party with 26 mandates, followed by the Yesh Atid party with 21, and the National Unity party with 12. The Joint List party has seen a decrease to 11 mandates, while Ra'am has strengthened to 8. Other parties, including Democratic Party (8 mandates), Yisrael Beiteinu, Otzma Yehudit, United Torah Judaism, and Shas (7 mandates each), and Religious Zionism and Identity (6 mandates each), are also positioned. Two parties, the Reservists and Economic Party (2.66%) and Am Israel Party (1.63%), are currently below the electoral threshold. The bloc distribution remains consistent: Netanyahu's bloc at 53, the left-wing bloc at 48, the Joint List at 11, and Ra'am at 8. The final count of double envelopes is expected to conclude by Thursday afternoon, at which point the definitive mandate distribution will be clarified.
