With 85% of ballots counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud and its allies are projected to win 53 of the Knesset’s 120 seats, while Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc is set for 48. Both leaders say they will seek to form a coalition. Arab-led parties could hold the balance as absentee votes remain uncounted.

Israel’s election remained uncertain on Wednesday, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing religious bloc nor centrist rival Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc appearing poised to win a Knesset majority. An unusually strong showing by Arab parties could make them unexpected kingmakers.
Experts expect a new Israeli government to bring few major changes on contentious issues such as Palestinian statehood and Israeli troops in Lebanon and Syria, though some limited positives may emerge. Arab neighbors have responded quietly, and analysts see no fundamental shift in Israel’s policies toward them or Palestinians.
The war in the Middle East has never truly stopped. As votes are counted in Israel, no clear winner has emerged, while people in Lebanon expect little change in Israeli policy.
After an uncertain Israeli election, the key question is not necessarily which party wins the most seats, but which leader can form a viable coalition. Correspondent Tamar Sebok says smaller parties can wield outsized influence, and campaign declarations ruling out cooperation with Arab parties may not hold once coalition talks begin.
With nearly all votes counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition has lost its majority, while the main opposition bloc also falls short of an outright majority. Palestinian parties made substantial gains. Absentee ballots remain to be counted, leaving the path to forming a government uncertain.
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. Forming a government may require a leading party to break campaign promises, making another election the likeliest outcome. Other possibilities include a unity government, Arab-party support for the opposition, or right-wing parties in Eisenkot’s bloc defecting to Netanyahu.
Exit polls project that Israel’s Arab-led parties could win a record 17 Knesset seats. Together with Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc, they could potentially reach a parliamentary majority and unseat Benjamin Netanyahu, but observers cite ideological opposition and resistance to relying on Arab votes as barriers to a partnership.
Turnout in Israel’s election topped 77%, the highest in nearly three decades, but no clear winner has emerged. Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a strong right-wing government, and Likud is set to be the largest party in parliament. Rival Gadi Eisenkot says voters chose to end Netanyahu’s term, but neither side has a clear majority.

HUR said the system is primarily intended for military use, with planned coverage focused on Ukraine and Europe, and could also support Russian hybrid operations against other countries.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine would be discussed at a trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi in November. He said the guarantees should be mutual.
Trump said he hopes to hold a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky soon, expecting “a lot of progress.” Zelensky said Russia appears serious about talks in Abu Dhabi, where discussions may cover de-escalation in the energy sector and at sea, prisoner exchanges and a possible leaders’ meeting. A call between Putin, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre lasted nearly 90 minutes instead of the planned 30; Denmark’s prime minister criticized the initiative for not being coordinated with other EU countries. EU representatives also plan to join the Abu Dhabi talks. Separately, a Russian overnight strike on Kharkiv killed one person and injured four.
No specific date has been set for Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, and coordination is still underway, a source told TASS. The source said reports of a November 4 meeting misinterpreted the speakers’ remarks. Russia has said it is ready to resume trilateral talks with Ukraine and the United States in the second ten days of November.
Volodymyr Zelensky said a planned Ukraine-Russia-U.S. meeting in Abu Dhabi would focus on de-escalating the war. Kyiv hopes talks will resume regularly and make limited progress on energy, maritime issues and prisoner exchanges, though disputes over territory and security guarantees remain obstacles.
