With neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gadi Eisenkot yet to secure a majority, Israel’s Arab parties could hold the key to forming the next government. But with both leaders reluctant to work with them, will the opposition risk a coalition with Arab parties to oust Netanyahu?

Israel Police rejected Likud's claim that the election had been stolen. The force said no investigative or intelligence evidence supported the allegation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for a new right-wing government after exit polls showed no clear winner in the country’s parliamentary election, with neither his bloc nor the opposition projected to secure the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu said right-wing parties had won a “decisive majority” among the Zionist and Jewish public, while the results indicated that his coalition was narrowly ahead of the main opposition alliance.

Justice Noam Sohlberg has ordered Shin Bet to investigate suspected foreign funding in Israel's election. The probe comes as Netanyahu alleges malpractice and projected blocs remain short of a Knesset majority.
