The Central Elections Committee has published the final results of Israel's national election, confirming that the pro‑Netanyahu bloc secured 53 seats in the 120‑member Knesset, falling short of the 61 seats needed for a governing majority. The Likud party, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emerged as the largest party with 27 seats, while the anti‑Netanyahu bloc holds 48 seats and Arab parties hold 19 seats.
All votes were counted, with a voter turnout of 77.9 per cent and 5,716,665 votes cast. Because no coalition reached the required majority, the composition of the next government remains uncertain and further negotiations among parties are expected.
