Israel's Central Election Commission has officially certified the final results of the 26th Knesset elections, including the distribution of seats among the parties. The decision was made after all vote counting and data verification procedures were completed. The commission members voted 15-2 to approve the results, with 14 abstentions.
Committee Chairman Judge Noam Solberg emphasized the importance of respecting the voters' will and ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. "Political upheavals, surprises, and fierce disputes have never undermined the basic consensus that election results must be respected. This is a very valuable resource of our state. We must treat it with great care. It is easily broken, very difficult to repair," Solberg stated. He also addressed reports of potential irregularities, noting that while suspicions are being investigated by law enforcement, they do not currently cast doubt on the overall legitimacy of the elections or warrant delaying the official announcement.
The certified results will be submitted to the President of Israel and subsequently published in the official state gazette. The seat distribution in the 120-member Knesset is as follows: Likud (27 seats), Yashar (21), Yahad (12), United List (11), Democrats (8), Ra'am (8), Yisrael Beiteinu (7), Otzma Yehudit (7), United Torah Judaism (7), Shas (6), and Religious Zionism (6).
