Difficult negotiations lie ahead in Israel after Netanyahu’s bloc lost its parliamentary majority
Netanyahu’s bloc held a narrow lead as special ballots and the 3.25% threshold left the final seat count uncertain, officials said.
- As of Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc leads Israel's election with around 53–54 seats, though the alliance remains five seats short of the 61 required for an outright parliamentary majority.
- According to the Central Elections Committee, voter turnout reached 77.7 percent, the highest rate since 1999, while participation among Arab Israeli voters hit approximately 80 percent.
- Special ballots totaling more than 650,000 could delay the process into Friday, and smaller parties remaining below the 3.25 percent electoral threshold could shift final seat allocations.
- The designated candidate typically receives 28 days to negotiate a coalition, with a possible 14-day extension, as unresolved deadlock could ultimately necessitate another parliamentary election.
- Netanyahu declared he seeks a "right-wing, nationalist, strong government," emphasizing Israel's strategic partnership with President Trump in confronting Iran, with final results due November 4.
