With more than 92% of ballots counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and the opposition bloc were both projected to remain below the 61-seat threshold. Palestinian-Israeli parties were projected to hold 19 seats, making coalition negotiations decisive.
Why it matters
Neither major Jewish-led bloc can form a government alone; whether parties engage Palestinian-Israeli factions will determine whether Israel gets a coalition, a caretaker government or another election.
