Gadi Eisenkot, who is in charge of forming the government, faces three scenarios in the absence of a majority:
A minority government based on the support of the two Arab lists, which can increase its balance to 67 mandates.
An alliance with the "Shas" and "United Torah Judaism" parties, which have 13 seats, to reach the majority level, against the background of a dispute over the exemption of religious institution students from conscription.
A unity government with the Likud led by Netanyahu, with a majority of 67 seats, despite Eisenkot's pledge to oust him from power.
If Eisenkot fails within 28 days, the task may pass to Netanyahu, or the arena may shift to the promotion of elections if it is not possible to form a government.
