New: Israel's opposition leader, Gadi Eisenkot, said that exit polls show that Israelis have rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to him, the voters showed "total distrust in Netanyahu and the October 7 government". He called the result "a victory for the central Israeli majority" if it holds. He promised to "replace the Netanyahu government" quickly. Three main exit polls give his camp 52-53 mandates and Netanyahu's camp 50. Likud is still expected to be the largest party. No party has the 61 seats needed to govern.
