Netanyahu’s Likud leads Israeli exit polls with 24-25 seats as blocs fall short of majority

Israeli exit polls on Tuesday projected PM Netanyahu’s Likud as the largest party on 24-25 seats.
Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar was put at 21-23 seats, with his anti-Netanyahu bloc on 52-53 against about 50.
Both blocs fall short of the 61 needed in the 120-member Knesset, with Arab-led parties on a record 17-18.
The results are preliminary, and a prolonged coalition fight or another election is possible.
