Commentator Amit Segal Reveals His Election Prediction Was Accurate — Illustration by baba

What happened

01Commentator Amit Segal correctly predicted the election outcome favoring Netanyahu's bloc.
02Netanyahu's bloc won 53 mandates, the "change bloc" secured 48, and Arab parties got 19.
03No bloc achieved the 61-mandate majority needed to form a government.
04Gadi Eisenkot is reportedly trying to persuade Shas and United Torah Judaism to join his government.
05The conscription law and Lieberman's opposition to Haredi parties pose major hurdles to coalition talks.

Segal's personal prediction of Netanyahu's bloc winning more mandates proved accurate, with final results showing 53 mandates for Netanyahu's bloc versus 48 for the "change bloc." The political landscape now faces complex coalition negotiations, with efforts underway to form a government despite significant challenges like the conscription law.
