PoliticsIsrael election live: absentee ballots counted as Eisenkot bloc prepares for coalition talks

With 91% of votes counted, Netanyahu’s bloc is projected to win 53 seats, Eisenkot’s grouping 48, and Palestinian parties a record 19. The final absentee tally is unlikely to change the picture significantly, and no bloc has the 61 seats needed for a majority. Whether opposition parties cooperate with Palestinian parties could determine Netanyahu’s political future.
