Resultados de las elecciones en Israel 2026, en directo | Trump se otorga el mérito de que Netanyahu no sufriera una “derrota contundente”

In a live update of Israel's 2026 elections, US President Donald Trump claimed credit on Wednesday for preventing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from experiencing a "severe defeat" in the election held on Tuesday. Trump retweeted a message attributed to Irving C. Schwartz, which suggested that Netanyahu's situation had taken a dramatic turn, resulting in a possible tie or even a victory for him, following Trump's support.

The message emphasized Trump's desire for the best outcomes for Israel, the United States, and the Middle East.

Netanyahu's conservative bloc currently holds a provisional advantage of 56 seats, which is eight fewer than the 2022 election, after computing 55.4% of the electoral districts. The opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot holds 49 seats, according to partial data published by the Central Election Commission. Netanyahu has requested a delay in the final results but has bet on a right-wing government without "Arab and anti-settlement parties."
