Netanyahu gains ground without a decisive win, and Arab parties hold the key to government

Israel ·

With 85.6% of votes counted, Netanyahu's bloc has won 53 seats, against 48 for the bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot, while Arab parties jumped to a historic 19 seats. The figures mean neither side has a clear win, and the contest now moves to coalition negotiations.

Israel's Knesset has 120 seats, and a governing coalition needs at least 61 to hold a majority. Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads the Likud party, has been a central figure in Israeli politics for decades.
