Israel Election Exit Polls Show Opposition Bloc Leading, Likud Largest Single Party

Exit polls from Israel's election show the opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, projected to win 53 seats, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud is expected to be the largest single party with 50 seats. Neither bloc is projected to reach the 61-seat majority needed for a government without the support of Arab parties, which gained around 17 seats. The results follow a record voter turnout after polls closed Tuesday.

Election Day Spending Surges 37% as Israelis Flock to Malls

Israel experienced a significant surge in consumer spending on election day, with credit card expenditures rising 37.5% to approximately 731 million shekels. Malls and retail chains reported a substantial increase in visitors and sales, particularly in fashion and dining, with some malls seeing triple the usual traffic. While overall spending increased, mall entry numbers were down compared to the previous election day, though up from a regular Tuesday. The holiday provided a revenue boost for retailers and mall operators, but the national day off also incurred significant economic costs.
