Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc and the opposition bloc are both projected to fall short of the 61-seat parliamentary majority needed to form government, Middle East Eye reported. A surge in support for other parties has fractured the Knesset and left no single bloc with a clear path to power.
The results suggest prolonged coalition negotiations ahead, with smaller parties positioned to play a decisive role in determining Israel's next government formation.
