Netanyahu and Eisenkot face hard routes to power as neither bloc looks set for a majority
Israel's two largest political blocs appear to lack enough seats to form the next government without relying on Arab parties.
Reports suggest that neither the bloc led by Netanyahu nor the one associated with Eisenkot is currently positioned to secure a parliamentary majority. Based on the seat projections described, both sides would face a difficult path to forming a government.
The analysis indicates that any government formation could depend on support from Arab parties, which adds uncertainty to the coming political negotiations. The situation remains fluid and further developments are expected as coalition talks progress.
