World

  • With 91% of votes counted, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's alliance leads with 53–54 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot's opposition has 48.
  • Arab-led parties have secured a combined 19 seats, making their support important for forming Israel's next government.
  • • Netanyahu's Likud party alleged voting fraud by Arab parties, but officials found no supporting evidence.
  • Israel's Parliament has 120 seats, requiring 61 for a majority. Neither side has enough seats, so coalition talks or another election may follow.
