Netanyahu wins Israeli election, but his coalition is far from majority
According to exit polls, the Jewish opposition bloc wins more seats than the Government of the Prime Minister, but will need the Arab parties, which achieve a historic result
The Likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu has won Israel's legislative elections, securing between 24 and 25 seats out of 120, according to exit polls. The Yashar party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, is projected to have between 21 and 23 seats, lower than expected. The election, the first since the 2023 Hamas attack and a series of wars in the Middle East, saw a high turnout of 77%, the highest in over 25 years.
