The vote count in Israel’s election has reached 77 percent, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc taking the lead but remaining short of the majority required to form a government. The Central Elections Committee’s latest update shows Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc ahead of the main opposition alliance led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot.
The
latest seat projections based on the votes counted so far are:
·
Netanyahu’s bloc: 54 seats
·
Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc: 49 seats
·
Arab parties: 17 seats
Despite
the lead, Netanyahu’s bloc has yet to reach the 61 seats needed for a majority
in the 120-member Knesset. Netanyahu has called for a national right-wing
government, claiming a decisive majority among the Zionist public. However, the
results indicate a potentially difficult path to forming a stable coalition,
with the final outcome depending on the remaining votes and post-election
negotiations.
