With 31.1% of the votes counted, the partial results show the following projected seat distribution in Israel’s 120-seat Knesset:
* Likud: 29 seats
* Yashar: 20
* Joint List: 11
* Together (Beyachad): 11
* United Torah Judaism: 9
* Yisrael Beiteinu: 8
* Otzma Yehudit: 7
* The Democrats: 7
* Shas: 7
* Religious Zionism: 7
* Ra’am: 4
According to the partial count, Netanyahu’s bloc stands at 59 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc has 46 seats. The Arab parties hold a combined 15 seats.
A majority requires 61 seats, leaving Netanyahu’s bloc two seats short of the threshold needed to govern.
With 68.9% of the votes still uncounted, the figures remain provisional. Likud may be leading, but Netanyahu still needs additional support to secure a parliamentary majority.
