Israelis elected a new Knesset on 27 October — the first national election in nearly four years.
A government needs the support of 61 of the Knesset’s 120 members. No party has ever won a majority alone.
Exit polls: Eisenkot’s opposition 52–53 seats, Netanyahu’s bloc 50, Arab-led parties 17–18.
More than 74% had voted by 8 p.m., the highest at that hour in decades.
After official results, the president picks a lawmaker to try to build a coalition. It could take weeks.
