Israel's 2026 Election Results Leave No Clear Majority, Arab Parties Hold Key Seats
Israel's 2026 election results show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc with 53 seats and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot's bloc with 48 seats in the 120-member Knesset. Arab-led parties hold 19 seats, potentially pivotal for forming a majority. Neither major bloc has reached the 61-seat threshold needed to govern. Netanyahu has ruled out cooperating with Arab parties, while Eisenkot faces a decision on whether to seek their support amid ongoing vote counts and allegations of election fraud.
