Final Polls Show Eisenkot Leading Netanyahu, But No Clear Majority

Final Israeli election polls show Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party leading Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, but neither bloc is projected to win the 61 seats needed to form a government. The opposition bloc holds a slight edge, but Arab parties could be pivotal. Several smaller parties are struggling to cross the electoral threshold, which could affect the final seat distribution. The results point to challenging coalition negotiations and the possibility of another election.
