Israel Hayom wrote in an analysis that although the Likud leads with about 27 seats, the Netanyahu bloc has only 51-52 seats according to exit polls and remains far from the majority of 61 seats needed to form a government. On the other hand, the Eisenkot Bloc also cannot form a government without the support of the Arab parties - parties that reached a historic high by winning 17-19 seats. According to the newspaper, if the results of the survey are confirmed, Netanyahu's only realistic option for remaining prime minister is to form a unity government that includes Eisenkot, Bennett, Lapid and Lieberman, which can receive close to 70 mandates. But the formation of such a government will require major concessions from Netanyahu. Ben-Gvir's overthrow is estimated to be relatively easy, but the main obstacle is the ultra-orthodox parties, because Eisenkot insists on forming a government centered on military service, and the religious parties are not ready to compromise on this issue. The report emphasizes that Netanyahu must choose between preserving his old ultra-Orthodox allies and reaching an agreement with his political opponents. Meanwhile, despite winning first place, the atmosphere at Likud headquarters reflected more concern over the inability to form a government than celebration of victory.
