With 94% of ballots processed in Israel's parliamentary elections, no single bloc has yet achieved the majority needed to form a government. The Central Elections Committee is continuing the vote count for the remaining ballots.
The Likud party, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, remains in the lead, projected to win 26 seats in the Knesset. The "Yashar" party is in second place with 21 seats, followed by "Bayahad" with 12 seats. The "United Arab List" is expected to secure 11 mandates.
Two parties, "Democrats" and the RAAМ list, have each garnered 8 seats. Four parties, "Our Home Israel," "Otzma Yehudit," and the ultra-Orthodox lists Shas and "Yahadut HaTorah," are each projected to win 7 seats. The "Religious Zionism" party is set to receive 6 mandates.
Several political figures failed to cross the electoral threshold. The lists of Yoaz Hendel, and Ofer Winter did not receive enough votes to enter the Knesset. The current distribution of seats suggests a challenging negotiation process for forming a new government. Netanyahu's bloc has secured 53 seats, while the "change bloc" parties have 48 seats. Arab factions collectively hold 19 seats. None of the blocs have reached the 61 seats required for a stable coalition.
Final results will be determined after all ballots, including those from "double envelopes," are fully verified.
