> Israel’s election produced no clear winner, and neither bloc reached the 61 seats needed to form a government. Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot took 48, and two lists representing Palestinian citizens secured 19 combined. Coalition talks are reportedly under way; if the formation process fails, Israelis may have to vote again.
