Israel's parliamentary elections ended with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party winning 27 seats, the largest single party but short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu's right-wing bloc holds 53 seats, while opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party and allies have 48 seats. Arab parties, including the Joint List and Ra’am, hold 19 seats, making them potential kingmakers in coalition talks. Neither side can form a government alone, setting the stage for complex negotiations.
