PoliticsNo clear mandate projected in Israel election: What comes next?

Exit polls project Netanyahu’s coalition at 50 seats and the opposition bloc at 52, leaving both short of the 61 needed for a Knesset majority. Arab-led parties are projected to win 18 seats and could become kingmakers. After the final tally, President Isaac Herzog will designate the candidate he believes has the best chance of forming a government; failure to break the deadlock could lead to another election.
