Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Benjamin Netanyahu has effectively won Israel's recent election stalemate, as the opposition bloc, despite holding a Knesset majority, cannot form a government.

Gadi Eisenkot's attempts to form a government are unlikely to succeed, leaving Netanyahu poised to retain power. The article suggests this election was the opposition's best chance to unseat Netanyahu, and their failure may have significant future implications.
