Summary

The final count in Israel's election is complete, and no party or bloc has the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party and its allies won 53 seats, short of the outright majority needed to form a government. The main opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, won 48 seats. Opposition parties are exploring options to form a coalition, and the results set the stage for tough coalition talks or potentially another vote.
