Tuesday’s exit polls gave the bloc led by opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot a narrow lead over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud bloc in the Knesset. Likud was nevertheless projected to remain the parliament’s largest single party.

Israeli exit polls indicate that neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gadi Eisenkot is on track to win a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Eisenkot supporters in Tel Aviv reacted after the first results were released.

Exit polls show Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc narrowly ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s right and far-right coalition, although Likud is projected to remain the largest party. Israeli Arab parties could win up to 18 seats and become kingmakers in potentially protracted coalition talks. The outcome remains uncertain after turnout reached its highest level in 50 years.

An exit poll from state-run broadcaster Kan-11 projects Likud will take 25 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, with Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party second on 21. The opposition bloc is forecast to win 53 seats against 50 for Netanyahu’s bloc. Arab parties are projected to get 17, but neither side is ready to form a coalition with them; neither bloc reaches the 61-seat majority threshold.

A temporary ceasefire in Russian-controlled Oleshky in southern Ukraine appeared to be holding, with both sides stopping drone attacks ahead of a planned evacuation of about 2,000 trapped civilians. Finland’s president and Norway’s prime minister also spoke with Putin about efforts to end the war, while noting that major differences remain.

A short ceasefire in Ukraine’s Oleshky is intended to help more than 1,000 civilians, but the White House credits Melania Trump while the Vatican says Pope Leo helped secure it through calls with Russian and Ukrainian leaders. The pause is meant to enable aid deliveries and evacuations, not end hostilities.
