Nach Wahl in Israel: Mehr als 70 Prozent der Stimmen ausgezählt – Netanjahu vorne

After Israel's parliamentary election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu's right-wing bloc has solidified its lead after tallying more than 70% of the votes. However, a clear majority is not yet in reach. According to Israeli media reports, the opposing camp led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot has secured 54 out of the 120 Knesset seats, amounting to 47 seats.

Netanjahu's Likud Party is the strongest force with 27 parliamentary seats. The Yesh Atid Party, led by Eisenkot, trails behind with 20 seats. The Arab parties have gathered a total of 19 seats. Eisenkot would need the support of Arab parties to form a government, but several opposition parties have so far refused. Meanwhile, Netanjahu has called for the formation of a strong right-wing government without the participation of Arab parties.

The process of forming the government and who will serve as the future Prime Minister remains uncertain.
