Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud-led bloc secured the largest share of seats in the general election but falls short of the 61-seat majority needed to form a governing coalition, Al Jazeera English reported. The shortfall presents a significant obstacle as Netanyahu moves to build a government from his election victory.
Coalition talks will determine whether Netanyahu can assemble the necessary support to cross the majority threshold and proceed with government formation.
