After election in Israel: More than 70 percent of votes counted – Netanyahu in front
After counting most of the votes, Netanyahu's camp is ahead in Israel's parliamentary election, but has no majority. Who will form the government in the future remains open.
Israel's right-wing bloc, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu, has solidified its lead after counting over 70% of the votes in the parliamentary election. The bloc currently holds 54 of the 120 Knesset seats, while the opposing bloc, led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, has 47 seats. Netanjahu's Likud party is the strongest with 27 seats, followed by Eisenkot's Jaschar party with 20 seats, and Arab parties with 19 seats.
A majority requires 61 seats, and it is still uncertain who will form the government and become the next prime minister.
