Journalist Ahmed Sarhan: Today's results in Israel are not similar to the initial results published last night. (Important lesson: don't get too excited and wait) So far, after counting about 80% of the votes, the Netanyahu camp is leading the Eisenkots camp. This is contrary to what was published yesterday. The elections showed that Netanyahu is still strong; His party (Likud) won the most seats in the Knesset, despite all the talk about Netanyahu's failures in these years. It is expected that the number of mandates in the Netanyahu camp will increase slightly, but it will not reach 61 mandates. The reason lies in the votes of the Arabs (80% of the Arabs participated in the elections). This is also due to the division that occurred in the Israeli right, as a result of Omer Winter not withdrawing and running alone, which scattered the votes. The Netanyahu camp or the Eisenkots need to connect with the Arabs in order to reach 61 mandates and form a government. However, the Netanyahu camp will not accept an alliance with the Arabs, since his election campaign was built on their exclusion. Also, not everyone in the Eisenkots camp is in favor of an alliance with the Arabs, which threatens divisions within the camp if this happens. In my opinion, Netanyahu has the cards to reach the prime ministership, and he is so smart and cunning that he can break through the ranks of the opposition. Or the alternative is a national unity government (in which both Netanyahu and Eisenkot participate). What will happen is that the President of Israel will assign Adam (either Netanyahu or Eisenkot) to form the government. Note: Israel's foreign policy towards Iran and the axis will not change with a change in Netanyahu (if it happens) except for a few small details.
