Benjamin Netanyahu's political bloc has dropped to 57 seats as election officials counted over 2.1 million ballots—nearly 42 percent of votes cast—according to Israel's Central Elections Committee, Middle East Eye reported. The bloc maintains its lead despite the decline from earlier projections.
The shift reflects the partial recount of votes in what appears to be an ongoing election process. Final seat distribution depends on completion of the full ballot count.
