PoliticsNetanyahu Bloc Falls Short as Regional Diplomacy With Iran Gathers Pace

Israel is moving into coalition talks after Netanyahu’s bloc came first but fell short of the 61 seats needed for a majority. Arab parties could prove decisive, while Gadi Eisenkot remains central to post-election discussions. Diplomacy involving Iran is also gaining momentum: Tehran says it is still giving negotiations a chance, with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Qatar involved in regional talks. Trump says JD Vance offered medical supplies to Iran and denies directing him to do so.
