Netanyahu and Eisenkot Blocs Deadlocked Below Majority in Israeli Exit Polls
· World · Axios, NDTV, The Independent
Israeli exit polls show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right coalition and the rival bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot each falling short of the 61-seat majority needed to form a government. Both alliances are locked in a tight race with neither able to cross the parliamentary threshold on its own. The results point to prolonged coalition negotiations and potential political deadlock. Smaller parties will now hold decisive leverage in determining the next prime minister. Official results are expected in the coming days.
Why it matters
The outcome will shape Israel's policy on Gaza, hostages, and regional security, with direct implications for Middle East stability and India's diplomatic and energy interests in the region.
