> With 85% of votes counted after Tuesday’s election, neither Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition nor Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc appears likely to win a majority.

Other possibilities include a unity government, Arab-party support for the opposition, or right-wing parties in Eisenkot’s bloc defecting to Netanyahu.
