Likud leads with 26 mandates, followed by "Ishar" with 21, then "Maan" and the joint Arab list with 12 mandates each. The Netanyahu camp needs 8 more mandates to reach the majority needed to form the government. Eisenkot pledged to form an "Israeli government", and did not explain how this would be achieved without the participation of the Arab parties. The results are not final as the remaining votes continue to be counted.
