Israel's October 27 election resulted in a coalition deadlock, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's bloc securing enough seats to form a government independently. Netanyahu's bloc won 53 seats, Eisenkot's 48, and Arab parties a record 19 seats in the 120-member Knesset. Voter turnout was 77.9%, the highest since 1999. Official results are expected November 4, with complex coalition talks ahead.
