Israel final results: Netanyahu bloc wins 53 seats, Eisenkot bloc 48, no majority

Final results from Israel's election give neither Netanyahu's bloc (53 seats) nor Gadi Eisenkot's opposition bloc (48) a governing majority.

Posted Updated (3 d ago)

Final results from Israel's election show no clear winner, The New York Times reports. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party and its allies took 53 seats in parliament. The main opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, took 48. Neither side has an outright majority, which is what a government needs.

The New York Times earlier wrote that deadlock is possible, but that there are still paths to forming a new government. The reports do not say which of those paths is most likely.

Earlier counts pointed the same way. Al Jazeera reported that with nearly 90 percent of votes counted, Netanyahu's right-wing bloc led but fell short of the votes needed. NPR reported that Arab parties had a strong showing. It said a key question is whether Eisenkot's bloc will consider a coalition with them.

Exit polls on Tuesday showed a similar split. Deutsche Welle said Netanyahu's party was projected to be the largest in parliament, while two of three exit polls had his bloc level with the opposition. France 24 said the result could mean weeks of political wrangling to form a government.
